Eleanor Kaye

Executive Director

As Executive Director, I've been leading Newton since 2021. I develop and execute the company's strategic plan and vision with the backing of key stakeholders and partners in the venture capital and exec education ecosystems.


The future of venture capital is an ever more dynamic space as folks from all backgrounds discover their individual and collective paths in venture.

Shayan Row Chowdhury

Head of Product

As Head of Product, my role is to enable the design and delivery of an exceptional learning journey for aspiring and practising venture capital professionals, as well as, lead the development of Newton’s current and emerging product portfolio.


The future of venture capital is one that brings the richness of the world to bear - making sure all intersectional identities are represented in venture capital.

Vickie Cox

Head of Growth and Marketing

As Head of Growth and Marketing, I look after the alumni, work with others to make venture capital more inclusive and accessible, and keep everyone up to date on everything Newton through PR and marketing!



The future of venture capital to me is a new generation of investors pathing the way for more impactful and inclusive investments - both in companies and people.

Sari Bircoll

Program Manager

As Program Manager, I support the Head of Product with the design and delivery of our Fundamentals and Fellowship programs - including being first point of contact for our learners. As part of the product team, I help develop emerging programs too.


The future of venture capital is a vibrant, inclusive community that drives innovation by embracing and empowering people of all backgrounds.
