Shining the Light on Capital

Following a career in the fashion industry, and awakening to the negative impacts on life in the name of profits, I tapped into my financial training and experience managing holding companies to design and build an investment model in alignment with the shared vision with Christopher Lindstrom.  Cycleffect Regenerative Ventures is the outcome of the intention to create a container of collaboration, reciprocity and investment in regenerative companies.   

Being an operator for over a decade, I then shifted to supporting entrepreneurs from within.  

Recognizing that innovative investment structures tend to be perceived as higher risk, I then built an investment thesis for regenerative agriculture that could meet a traditional fund model to facilitate capital flow as co-founding Managing Director at Trailhead Capital.

Seeking the catalyst for regenerative agriculture I found food quality and the Bionutrient Food Association.  Believing that if food quality were transparent to consumers then the market would adjust to reward growers for quality vs quantity, and given the linkage between quality crops and quality soil, the modus operandi would shift.  I continue to serve on the Board of the Bionutrient Food Association and an ally and informal advisor to Edacious.

I started to look beyond agriculture and soil impact to NATURE.   It astonished me how much of our economy depends on nature and yet it is generally unvalued in business.  True cost accounting, TNFD, and valuing resilience in the cost of capital were the call to my work at NatureX Venture Studio
