Bio
Annie Mosbacher
Emily is without a doubt one of the most incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I worked with Emily for over 4 years in a variety of different roles, including as my manager and my peer. Emily was an excellent leader at the company, providing mentorship and coaching to many people throughout a growing startup, leading to growth of dozens of people still in leadership positions, who attribute their success much to Emily’s managerial leadership. Emily was an excellent colleague, whose collaboration, candor, and ability to find solutions for even the most difficult challenges made her one of the most valuable members of the executive team during her tenure at NationBuilder. I relished every opportunity to work on a project with Emily, who always brought the best out of everyone she worked with. Emily has a keen sense of strategy, and is extraordinarily adept at connecting people, networking, and building strategic partnerships to advance missions and goals of a company. Through her work in sales, business development, marketing and organizing at the company, she had direct contributions in growing revenue and brand recognition exponentially. Working with Emily has been one of the true pleasures of my professional career, and I know she is meant for incredible things!

Emily is a caring manager who goes to bat for her team (I was lucky to have her as my manager right off the bat). At the same time, she is a fantastic strategic thinker who is always willing to roll up her sleeves to get in the trenches to drive an effort to completion. Her strength is inspiring to people around her.
