Ita's Rise

Before Ita was a Partner at GingerBread Capital, she started her diverse career at Goldman Sachs. From there, she became an operator as a product manager on industry-leading teams at American Express and TravelClick. But she knew early on that she had a talent for spotting a strong, female-led business. So she turned it into her life’s work.

Giving women a platform to rise to has been at the heart of Ita’s career since the beginning. In 2014, she founded Tigress Ventures — a firm with a sole mission to pair entrepreneurs and seasoned professionals with female business owners. As a Venture Partner at Plum Alley Investments, Ita oversaw investment opportunities from female-founded and gender-diverse startups.

Today, a Partner at GingerBread Capital, Ita continues to push for female representation in the VC space as she mentors and elevates the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
