Hi, I'm Claire

I'm the Chief of Staff at Able Partners, a venture capital firm investing in brands that make the lives of consumers happier, healthier, and more meaningful. Previously, I worked as a consultant at Prophet. I received a Fulbright fellowship to work and study in Moscow. I received a B.A. in Russian & Eastern European Studies and a B.A. in Humanities from Yale University.

​

When I'm not working, I'm a frequent writer, polyglot language learner, and intrepid traveler. I also create a small line of upcycled vintage designer bags. 

You can follow along on my adventures through my weekly newsletter.
