Green has established herself as an industry power player thanks to her prescient bets with brands on the path to billion-dollar exits, but her journey into the high-stakes, male-dominated venture world was anything but conventional. She wasn’t a founder herself and didn’t hail from one of the tech giants, but she instead cut her teeth in the world of finance as an equity research analyst in retail.
In the years that followed, Green learned to embrace uncertainty and stretched herself to challenge the norms around what constitutes a successful path. She embarked on what she terms a “self-taught MBA,” where she honed everything from her investment thesis, the power in trusting your gut, spotting groundbreaking entrepreneurs, and that ultimately, her vision could only be realized with herself at the helm.

The interesting thing about Green’s journey is that it’s her outsider status that’s unlocked her greatest opportunities. “Be open-minded to the journey and allow it to unfold,” she says. “You have to have goals to keep moving forward.
