Back to team

Chris has spent the first few years of his career gaining extensive startup (TrademarkVision) and global corporate (Clarivate) operational experience working across a variety of roles, including account management, consulting, project management, sales, and most recently, product management.  Passionate about entrepreneurship and supporting startups with their business development efforts, Chris seeks to utilize his international operator background to help the team find, evaluate, and partner with the most promising founders.
 
Internally, Chris works closely with Phil and Tim on deal sourcing and executing due diligence workflows. As needed, Chris also supports the firm’s partnership with ad-hoc research and analytical projects.
 
Chris earned a BA in Economics from Yale University. A 1st generation immigrant and college graduate, Chris volunteers his time outside of work with mission driven non-profit organizations, including LatinxVC as a Fellow Alum, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund as a Mentor, and the Yale Latino Alumni Network as a Board Member.
