Nicole Quinn is a Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners. Known as the “brand whisperer,” she’s backed iconic consumer companies like Goop, Calm, and Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs. I met Nicole a long time ago at a retreat for VCs organized by Jerry Colonna, where we go talking about the daily life of a VC in depth.
In this episode we talk about her experience serving on boards of high performing consumer companies, how she looks at the role of a board member, what she did to level up her skills and what makes consumer companies unique.
