There she drove strategy, operations, and served as portfolio manager for 25+ early stage companies in the emergent blockchain ecosystem. At ConsenSys Cecily was responsible for incubator strategy and oversight, founder coaching, capitalization strategies, and operational excellence for projects throughout the portfolio, all while being a champion for DEI across all efforts. Cecily is also a founding LP of How Women Invest, an early stage venture capital firm that leverages a network of female led investors to identify high potential women-led companies. When asked about what she’s looking forward to while working with Blockdaemon, Cecily shared:
Prior to ConsenSys, Cecily held several roles at the Silicon Valley-based news platform Flipboard including Chief Legal and Business Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, and co-led the company’s corporate development and investor relations functions to raise $150M in two funding rounds (Series C & D). Previously she was a member of the founding team that spun Rhapsody International, Inc. (now Napster) out of a JV between Viacom and RealNetworks with funding from Best Buy and Universal Music Group. She coaches leaders across her portfolio on fundraising, reorgs, OKR establishment and execution, DEI initiatives, and overall operational efficiency and excellence. Cecily serves as Chair of the board of directors for the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (spun out from Google), taught Digital Media Law at UC Hastings for twelve years, and maintains positions on advisory boards of several companies in the enterprise blockchain, consumer software, and mindfulness industries. Cecily’s appointment as COO comes at an important time in the history and growth of Blockdaemon following the recent acquisition of staking and governance platform, Lunie and headcount growth as a distributed global team producing industry leading blockchain infrastructure products and services.
