christina bosemark
marketing consultant & angel investor in San Francisco, California
Professional
Originally from Sweden, I have a BS in economics and started my career as product manager for a large network operator. I then moved to management consulting, specializing in networking and mobile technology. With large client projects across the continent, I gained a deep understanding of the European tech market, fueling my passion for technology.
A few years thereafter, I concluded that most game-changing tech developments were happening in Silicon Valley. I made the move - after joining a Valley startup firm to launch their European operations - and I have lived in the Bay area since.
After 15 years in Silicon Valley holding key management roles at several successful tech companies, I leveraged my hands-on startup operating skills into a consulting / advising role. The evolution into angel investing was a natural next step. I'm an accredited investor, member of Sand Hill Angels and the Women Angels of the Bay Area network.
