About
Bernadette builds products and companies
with intention
As COO of Linera, an a16z backed startup, she worked closely with the founder to grow from 5 to 14 team members and from $6M to $12M in seed funding. Bernadette scaled products, infrastructure, and cross-functional teams during a critical period of hypergrowth at MoPub, the mobile ad exchange acquired by Twitter. Bernadette began her career launching products at Google, spanning both B2B and B2C products across Chrome, Google Maps, and AdWords.
Through these roles, she has experienced the full company life cycle: from startup to scaling (team, product, key business metrics), all the way to acquisition and IPO.
As a leadership coach, Bernadette has worked with leaders at Google, Coinbase, Chime, US State Department, and more.
She works with founders who are leading with intention as they create products, businesses, and company cultures. Bernadette blends strategy and organizational design (sequencing hires, leveling, establishing cross-functional processes) with coaching and mindfulness tools to help leaders take their companies to the next level and grow themselves as leaders along the way.
Bernadette studied Management Science & Engineering with a concentration in Organizations, Technology, and Entrepreneurship at Stanford University. She completed a tutorial in Strategic Management at the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford.
