Vice President, Portfolio Partnerships

Union Square Ventures is a financial services company that founded in 2003.

As the network General Manager for Union Square Ventures, I work with the great teams at our 60+ active portfolio companies to help empower all of our entrepreneurs to learn from each other and build better businesses.Previously, I worked in marketing and sales at Stack Overflow to promote their technical recruitment solutions to companies hiring software developers. As the largest online resource for software developers to find answers to their coding questions, Stack Overflow was built on the premise that serving and enriching the developer community at large would lead to a better, smarter Internet. In this role, I interfaced internally among the product, marketing, and sales teams as well as externally with our customers to assist them in finding ways to attract top technical talent to their organizations.My past experience includes positions in marketing, writing, communications, and consulting, leveraging my journalism degree from Northwestern University. Today, I remain actively involved in the Northwestern alumni network, where I serve as President of the Medill Club of NYC.
