Ex-Goldman Sachs and KPMG Executive Promoted One Year After Hiring
Ms. Tucker joined BSV one year ago from Goldman Sachs, where she served as Vice President in the Controllers Division. Prior to that, she served as Financial Manager at business advisory firm Riveron, Fund Controller and Manager at Standish Management, and Senior Audit Associate at KPMG.
"Kendall has been an outstanding addition to our leadership team from the moment she walked in the door," said James Spann, Founder & General Partner of Boyd Street Ventures. "Her expertise, leadership and team play are having a significant impact on our firm and our portfolio as we pursue our $50 million fundraise target for Fund I, particularly as we explore follow-on investments in companies that may be experiencing exits in the relatively near future."
Ms. Tucker holds a B.S. degree in Accounting from the University of Oklahoma and an M.S. degree in Accounting from the University of Texas at Dallas.
