A little about me

I'm Christina — Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, which is a fancy way of saying I spend my days talking to brilliant founders and occasionally making good decisions. I love finding the next big thing at the intersection of AI, health, fintech, and whatever else catches my attention.

When I'm not working, I'm wrangling three kids, running through the Presidio, and drinking a matcha latte.

Things That
Inspire Me

Things that make my brain light up.

🌊

Flow states

The feeling of being completely absorbed in creative work, where time dissolves and everything clicks.

"She believed she could, so she did. Also she had great shoes."
— updated proverb
📚

Reading deeply

Books, essays, long-form anything. The kind of writing that changes how you see the world.

🔮

The future

Technology as magic. Building things that would've seemed impossible a decade ago.

🐟

Tsukiji Fish Market

The original. Chaos, craft, and mastery all in one place — the kind of thing that reminds you excellence is a practice.

"Hermès is not a luxury. It's an investment thesis."
— me, justifying things
🧘

Meditation

The one thing that actually works. Clarity, calm, and occasionally falling asleep — all valid outcomes.

🇦🇲

Yerevan, Armenia

My heritage. A city of pink tuff stone, ancient history, and a resilience that runs in the blood.

don't be a stranger

I genuinely love meeting interesting people. Slide into my DMs, send a cold email, do your thing.
