Senior Associate, New York Office

“It is the innovators who carry mankind forward.”  Young and old; male and female; higher education and none; I’ve watched founders grow rough ideas into businesses which create and define new industries.  The common denominator: drive, hard-work, and constant evolution to shatter the status quo.”

At Comcast Ventures
Kathleen sources and identifies new investment opportunities, conducts diligence on potential investments and works closely with Comcast Ventures’ portfolio companies. 
 
Before Comcast Ventures
Prior to joining Comcast Ventures, Kathleen worked in venture capital for Core Innovation Capital and WVP Ventures.  Prior to her venture roles, Kathleen invested in and led Green Rock Entertainment, the start-up toy/game manufacturing company whose main product was Cahootie.  She won Ernst & Young’s Winning Women award for its success. Before her operational adventure, Kathleen was an investment banker in the financial services group of Raymond James and a graduate of General Electric Capital’s Financial Management Program.
 
Education
Kathleen holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with highest honors from Babson College, with concentrations in Entrepreneurship and Finance, and received an M.B.A. from The Wharton School, where she graduated with honors.
 
Fun Fact
One of the roles I enjoyed most at Cahootie, the toy company I ran, was resident Fortune Teller - I wrote the sticker fortunes, which are an integral part of the game, and created the future!  My fortune telling capability should serve me well in this role, too.
