About
I specialize in helping early-stage companies build talent as a superpower. At Costanoa Ventures, we partner early and make meaningful investments in a select few. We back tenacious and thoughtful founders who change how business gets done. Our job is to enable you to succeed faster. Before Costanoa, I was the Talent Partner at Cowboy Ventures, leading talent initiatives for portfolio companies and firms. I have spent over a decade recruiting and leading talent teams for many of the top technology companies in the Valley, including Google, Adobe, and Yahoo.
