Kayla Hinderscheid

As head of network development for Menlo, Kayla leverages the Menlo network to facilitate the success of its portfolio companies, building community across the portfolio and startup ecosystem. Community has emerged as a core pillar of Menlo’s value proposition: By creating opportunities for portfolio companies to connect with each other, the firm is able to scale the value it provides beyond the capability of individual partners.

Kayla’s efforts connect the Menlo portfolio both online and in person. She is responsible for curating engagements in Menlo’s C-Suite Series, which brings together industry leaders and subject matter experts who guide professional development training and peer learning opportunities across all major functional areas relevant to company growth and success.

Before joining Menlo in 2013, she worked for TPG Special Opportunities Partners and RS Investments. Kayla holds a bachelor of arts in business entrepreneurship and public relations from the University of St. Thomas. For fun, Kayla enjoys spending time with her family and new adventures in wine country!
