Anna Bao

I am an interdisciplinary operator, builder, and implementer with 6+ years of experience across secondary and higher education, workforce development, biotechnology, supply chain(Corning), and venture capital(Techstars) with a myriad of skills from -1 to 1 product development to cross-functional project and program management. I bootstrapped a career education company to revenue, and built and launched a no-code website directly with students and parents. I taught at Cornell Tech to leverage its network to identify our advocates in local public, private, and charter high schools to start pilot conversations and successfully partnered with and sold to an existing vendor. I winded down Kleido recently due to a misalignment of founder-market-fit. For my next role, I am looking to leverage my learning as an ex-founder, product owner, and relationship builder in a chief of staff role. More importantly, I want to work with exceptionally smart and talented leaders I can learn from.
