Neo welcomes Suzanne Xie as Investing Partner
Dear Neo family,
Join me in welcoming Suzanne Xie to our team as Partner. This is a big step: she’ll be our investing team’s most senior hire yet, with experience as a founder and operator.
We were drawn to Suzanne from the beginning for her warmth, piercing intellect, direct style, and zeal for helping others.
Neo revolves around mentorship, and I’m delighted for our community to tap into Suzanne’s considerable experience building and selling multiple startups and leading a business unit at Stripe and a product team at Twitter.
We’re delighted to be working with Suzanne. Her full bio is below.
Prior to Neo, Suzanne led Stripe’s B2B and finance automation software businesses. Before that, she was Twitter’s Director of Product running Creation and Conversations after they acquired her software startup, Lightwell. Lightwell was the first no-code tool for native iOS development for interactive layouts and animations.
Suzanne spent the decade prior founding startups. Hullabalu was an interactive media company whose award-winning app series hit #1 in 48 countries with millions of downloads. Weardrobe was one of the largest fashion blogger communities for street style and was acquired by Like.com and then Google. Suzanne started her career at Goldman Sachs and UBS, and graduated from University of Chicago.
