Hi! I'm Mercedes.

I'm looking for my next thing and, while I'm doing that, I'm helping startups scale their go-to-market (GTM) functions. 1

Most recently, I was the first ops hire on the GTM team at Meter.

  • Built the 0 to 1 sales infra stack
  • Led the transition to Salesforce CRM and implemented our first cross-functional GTM processes
  • Owned an ad-hoc finance project that collected $1m+ in outstanding accounts receivables

Before that, I worked with Lachy Groom doing all things venture.

  • Fund size grew 10x during tenure and invests in pre-seed to pre-IPO globally
  • Supported in all aspects from financial analysis, portfolio support, and fund ops

In another life, I was a M&A banker at BofA Merrill Lynch.

  • If you're reading this, you probably don't care about the deals I worked on

Lately, I've been spending my time trekking 2, traveling, learning Chinese, and training for a marathon.

If you want to learn more (or just say hi), I'm chienmercedes [at] gmail [dot] com or email me here.

1 Interested? Pick a time here to chat. I work best with teams that are looking to build out their GTM function and may—or may not—have a handful of people in a sales or customer-facing role.

2 I hiked to Everest Base Camp last November! It was epic. Pictures coming soon.
