About Kassidy
I grew up in Las Vegas, but have lived in Japan, Washington DC, Dallas, Orange County, Utah, and the Bay Area. I studied Finance at Brigham Young University and became a Product Manager after undergrad at Capital One where I led the Capital One credit card application with 100M+ visits annually. I then decided to enhance my management skills by getting my MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. While there, I interned at Amazon as a Technical Senior Product Manager in Seattle, where I worked on the training and development of large language models for Amazon and it's customers. I also interned at Condor Airlines in Frankfurt, Germany as an operations manager working on enhancing ground operation's metrics and performance. Since graduating from Stanford, I launched my search fund, Balboa Growth Partners, where I am looking to acquire, operate, and grow one great software business. I am passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, fintech, and helping women gain access to better educations and improving their financial literacy. In my spare time, I love playing pickleball and volleyball, watching sports, and traveling.
Why do I coach?
I am a first generation college grad, so I didn't have much guidance navigating how to apply for MBA programs. Additionally, when I graduated from undergrad, there were not many undergrads going into product, so I had to forge my own path. As a coach, I hope to help those like me with limited guidance and resources to achieve their dream jobs and dream programs!
