Kelly is an NCAA D1 softball player. After graduating from UC Davis, she started her career in recruiting and might be one of the most connected people in the startup tech ecosystem. An eternal athlete, she brings grit, drive, stamina, strategy and teamwork to everything she does! 

She spent almost seven years at TheLions, helping some of the tech industry’s biggest players (e.g. Amplitude, Lattice, Plaid, Samsara, etc.) scale their go-to-market teams and now leads a team of Executive Recruiters at Will Reed. Her network, coupled with her deep understanding of the SaaS industry, make her an invaluable asset to early-stage founders and candidates alike. 

After two plus decades in California, Kelly now resides in Austin, Texas with her boyfriend Matt and their bevy of fur children: Chill Bill, Jean-Claude and Steve French.
