Kelly Ford

Angel Investor, Command Comma; former CMO N26

My name is Kelly Ford and I’m supporting the Builder's Guide with a focus on marketing excellence. I’ve spent the last 30 years in global marketing positions, starting in traditional packaged goods (Campbell Soup) and later moving into media (AOL, Travelzoo) and tech (McAfee, eBay, PayPal). I’ve led marketing at 2 startups which were acquired by multinational tech firms, and most recently at fintech unicorn N26 during its hyper-growth stage.

I’m now a Berlin-based angel investor supporting more than a dozen promising startups and new entrepreneurs. While the EU has caught up strongly in the startup space in recent years, the challenge now is to bring more European scale-ups to the global market. With my contribution to the Builder's Guide, I would like to support the next wave of entrepreneurs in the EU.
