Profile

Cristina Ciaravalli is the CEO and Founder of Valli Ventures, a GTM advisory and community platform that helps early-stage B2B tech founders scale through sales strategy, recruiting, BD partnerships, and curated events - earning her a reputation as the "first call for founders." She began her career on the trading floor of Goldman Sachs and BlackRock before pivoting to fintech, where she became the #1 salesperson at fintech unicorns Plaid and Unit. While leading those teams, she grew a global fintech community to 200,000 members before Plaid acquired it. Today, alongside advising and placing GTM talent for a broad roster of fintech and tech companies, Cristina is an active angel investor and connector across a large network of founders, VCs, and operators. She was named an Inspiring Fintech Female by NYC Fintech Women in 2020 and 2022.
