Before joining Alumni Ventures, Lucy built her career launching new products at Amazon, first for AWS and then for Amazon Devices. She graduated with honors from Yale University in 2019 and earned a dual MBA/MA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and the Lauder Institute in 2025, where she focused on finance and European venture capital. A lifelong fencer, she competed all four years on Yale’s varsity team. Now happily retired from the sport, she spends her free time hitting tennis balls with friends and supporting the arts, including her volunteer work with American Ballet Theatre’s Junior Council.
