    Achievements

    As an entrepreneur and investor, I live in a constant state of curiosity. I enjoy learning about new industries and business models. I am currently the founder and CEO of a healthy new CPG company, Watermelon Road, that is bringing new flavors to the bland and boring dried fruit market. I enjoy investing in and advising other female-led starts ups. I have 14+ years experience in research and investing across multiple industries and asset classes.
