Anna's career has followed a meandering path from a degree in Hotel Administration at Cornell to real estate private equity, a brief stint at an Italian cooking school, product/biz ops at construction tech and robotics startups, and most recently climate tech. She loves working at early stage startups as a self-described swiss army knife, gap filler, and wearer of many hats. When she's not in the office, you can find her riding her motorcycle down the coast, dirt biking, SCUBA diving, enjoying the great outdoors, planning her next travel adventure, or learning a new skill or hobby.

Joined at Series A as 10th employee and held a variety of leadership roles during Canvas' journey from R&D through commercialization and geographic expansion. Wore multiple hats including building and running a union signatory robot-enabled drywall subcontractor; tracking construction productivity at an unprecedented level of granularity; transitioning to a RaaS business; and creating business cases for next gen materials. Learned how to be a better human, leader/manager, and that I shouldn't be allowed to park 26' box trucks. Acquired by JLG Industries.

Vertically integrated technology company transforming construction. First prefab construction hire at Softbank-backed startup that grew from 75 -> 7,500 employees in <2 years and raised over $2Bn -> $0. It was a wild ride and incredible learning experience for myself and the entire AEC industry at large.
