As an executive coach, Claire's clients come primarily from a range of tech-focused backgrounds, including public tech companies like Meta, private startups in fintech, AI, and web3, and global venture capital firms.
As an author, Claire has published 10 books that have been translated into 12 languages, including One Minute Mentoring (with her mentor, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard), Twitter for Good, and Why Can't They Be Like Me? (with Marshall Goldsmith, the world's #1 executive coach).
Claire has been called everything from “Twitter’s Pontiff Recruitment Chief” (The Washington Post) and a “Force for Good” (Forbes) to one of the “Ten Most Generous in Social Media” (Fast Company) and even, entertainingly, “a globe-trotting, multi-hyphenate polymath” (TechCrunch). She was recently named to the Thinkers 50 Radar List of emerging management thinkers, recognizing her commitment to leadership excellence throughout her career in technology and venture capital. As a venture capitalist, she was the partner at a seed fund, an advisor to Antler, and a Kauffman Fellow. She remains a venture capital scout for Kleiner Perkins.
