A dedication to making an impact on equity in tech has led me to roles that didn’t exist when I grew up; roles designed to increase access and pathways of the brightest founders and technologists from underrepresented backgrounds. I am proud to support the GV team in building a more inclusive ecosystem of venture capital.
Candice creates inclusive strategies for GV and its portfolio companies, and helps the firm expand diversity across the entrepreneurs it funds.
Candice was the first Head of Inclusion & Diversity at Pinterest, where she spent over four years leading strategy and programs to drive diverse talent, policy and product outcomes. Prior, Candice spent a decade honing her expertise in diversity strategy and practice at Catalyst, based on Wall Street and in Zurich, Switzerland. Her clients were F1000 global organizations across a range of industries (from technology, professional and financial services to healthcare, oil & gas, and consumer goods). Candice was awarded Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business and The Root's 100 Most Influential African-Americans of 2017.
