Palo Alto, California
Operations, law & technology. An international lawyer turned startup operator, building the foundations that let ambitious teams move fast.
Claudia is a startup executive and international lawyer who has spent her career translating between worlds - between regulation and product, between the rigor of the courtroom and the velocity of an early-stage team. Today she leads operations and legal at The Interaction Company in Palo Alto, where she builds the structures that let an AI company move quickly and responsibly.
Her path runs from the Max Planck Institute and leading international law firms to the European External Action Service, and from there into the heart of the startup world. Bilingual in English and Spanish, and educated across Berlin, London, Singapore and Shanghai, she brings a genuinely global, multicultural perspective to everything she does.
What ties it together is a fascination with how technology reshapes the way we live and work - and a conviction that the most interesting problems sit precisely where disciplines collide.
