About me
I lead Seedcamp’s early growth investing practice from New York. While I started this role in 2022, I feel very at home at Seedcamp since I was previously part of the investment team from 2012 to 2014. It’s been incredible to see how much Seedcamp and our portfolio has grown, but what hasn’t changed are the core values—empathy, excellence, and a strong commitment to people and community. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work with such inspiring and visionary founders, and the whip smart team at Seedcamp not once, but twice!
I’m passionate about technology and entrepreneurship in a global context and scale. Before returning to Seedcamp, I was Chief Investment Officer at Newlab in New York, investing in frontier technology startups. I also spent several years in Asia investing in early-stage companies and supporting tech ecosystem growth. My career began at a legal and advisory firm in London after graduating from Yale University.
From Day One
I support Seedcamp’s breakout companies from Series A onwards with follow-on capital, tools, and guidance for scaling. Based in New York, I also help founders explore and navigate the U.S. market, building a community of founders and experts to welcome and support those moving west. Having experienced moving to new countries myself, I’m keen to make the transition smoother for our founders in a really practical way, whether it’s advice on a nursery for a founder’s kids, finding a peer network, or hiring the first US sales person.
