Valerie joined Five Seasons in April 2024 as a Senior Associate. While American by nature, she has spent time in France previously when attending INSEAD for her MBA and London as she previously worked in consumer growth investing at The Craftory, spearheading their women’s health vertical.
She began her career advising Fortune 500 retail and consumer companies through M&A transactions in New York and after spending two years at TPG, she pursued her MBA at INSEAD. There, she championed finance as a tool for positive change, heading the diligence team for the INSEAD Student Impact Fund.
Valerie’s journey to FSV is driven by her passion for consumer investing with a conscience. While she is enthusiastic about all things food, beverage, and nutrition, she is particularly interested in ensuring equal access in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and women’s health.
In her spare time, Valerie enjoys scuba diving around the world, finding new restaurants to add to her ever expanding Google Maps list, trying new fitness challenges with friends, and attempting to improve her French.
