About C.C.
I'm currently a principal at Menlo Ventures investing in AI applications. I graduated from Stanford GSB in 2022. Before business school, I was a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow and product manager at Facebook and Microsoft. I did stints in venture capital at Bain Capital Ventures and NFX, and started an AI company after business school. My coaching is centered around your goals and success. I use a strengths-based approach to help you leverage your skills and talents to achieve your dreams.
Why do I coach?
I love coaching because I have a passion for helping others with personal growth and development, and there is nothing more rewarding to me than seeing my clients achieve their goals
