Kate Kleinbaum
I bring a wealth of experience from my background in product management at a fintech company, where I specialized in enterprise accounting and performance measurement solutions, to my recent role as Chief of Staff at a groundbreaking biotech tools company in Pittsburgh, PA. This new position allows me to leverage my expertise in project and product management, enhancing our mission to expedite scientific research by providing users with a remote-controlled laboratory, making research faster, cheaper, and more accessible.
In transitioning to a smaller, innovation-driven environment, I've embraced the challenge of contributing beyond execution, focusing on strategic collaboration and process optimization.
On a lighter note, I'm an enthusiast in refinishing furniture, a hobby that not only fills my cup, but also my garage!
