Leimkuhler recounts her career trajectory: starting as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, then moving into a more entrepreneurial, fintech‑focused role within the corporate sector. This shift led her to view venture capital as a natural extension of her desire to explore and support emerging financial technology opportunities.
