Hannah's nearly two-decade career in M&A sourcing, sales, and leadership began with the Peace Corps in Botswana, shaping her commitment to impactful work. Having built and having participated in an exit of a bike-powered eco-friendly business she built in her 20’s, she understands the highs and lows of the process. Residing in Portland, OR, she balances her career with a love for adventure and global engagement, living with her son, partner Jessie, their dog, and 4 chickens. One of which thinks she is a dog.
