About Chantelle
Chantelle has over twenty years of communications and content experience, most recently leading marketing for nearly a decade at Accel, one of the best venture capital firms in the world. Before that, she founded and scaled her own PR consultancy, where she was trusted by VCs, founders, and some of the world’s most consequential leaders, like Sheryl Sandberg. Chantelle gained crucial operating experience at Yelp, where she helped lead communications efforts locally and internationally from their Series B through their IPO. She started her career on the agency side at AlexanderOgilvy and Bite Communications (now Archetype), leading campaigns for AMD, Applied Materials, and Sun Microsystems.
She is uniquely experienced in working with the world’s best venture capitalists and founders, has an unrivaled network across media and tech, and possesses a rare blend of startup and public company experience. While she has the deep expertise needed to develop nuanced communication strategies and advise on crises, she also has the tenacity and grit to pitch reporters and work phones.
Chantelle lives in Orinda, CA, with her husband, three kids, and three rescue dogs. When she’s not working or acting as a chauffeur or dog-walker, she’s comfort watching “The Great British Bake-Off” and bookmarking recipes on the NYT Cooking app that her kids will never eat.
