About Angel

Hi I'm Angel! I'm currently pursuing my MBA at UC Berkeley's Haas school of business, taking a two-year hiatus from big-tech corporate life to fully immerse myself in the areas that excite me most: startups, ai, sports, wellness, and the many intersections among them. I previously spent the majority of my career building impactful software at LinkedIn, working across diverse functions including enterprise GTM, BizOps, consumer products, and Insights. Working there taught me how creating economic opportunity through connection could transform lives. I'm fascinated by products that create excuses for genuine connection – tools that help people find their people, without the artificial barriers. As a first-generation american, raised by venezuelan immigrants whose own parents came from lebanon and italy, my identity is deeply rooted in the confluence of multiple worlds. This upbringing instilled in me a profound appreciation for new ideas, diverse people, and unfamiliar places. I'm a bit too extraverted, addicted to playing sports, and always chasing the next great adventure with my friends. Living in SF right now. you can probably catch me hanging around bernal heights, biking up hawk hill, or a grabbing breakfast burrito at al carajo.
