“Having spent most of my career within the startup ecosystem helped me connect the dots; I believe I can most effectively positively impact economic injustice by promoting diversity within venture capital. At Reinventure, our team values and prioritizes diversity because we believe it brings new perspectives and ideas to the table. We understand that systematic injustice affects individuals from all backgrounds, and having a team that reflects the diversity of the investment thesis we embody is essential. At Reinventure, we recognize that everyone has a unique role and strive to create an environment where everyone can contribute their best.”
