Fascinated by all things consumer, Ellen has dedicated her career to understanding human behavior and designing elegant interventions that reconcile the rational economic model and the irrationality of the human mind. Ellen brings a rigorous consumer research approach shaped by her time at IDEO, paired with a deep mastery of market dynamics. Her design ethos is heavily influenced by her roots — she blends the curiosity of a Montessori kid with the grit of a Deloitte consultant, the creativity of an IDEO designer, and the business acumen of a Kellogg MBA. Ellen is currently working to reimagine how Listen listens to unlock even greater value for their portfolio companies and their consumers.
