ANNA CARMONA

Founder Support & Startup Operations

SUMMARY

Executive Assistant and startup operator with 10+ years supporting founders and distributed teams through growth, fundraising, acquisition, and integration. I protect executive attention, keep important work moving, and improve systems without overcomplicating them. If I can teach myself how to do something, it's not out of scope.
