Tilly believes deeply in people, and in what's possible when they connect. As Operations and Community Manager on Uncork's Platform team, she builds the connective tissue that keeps Uncork's network thriving – from founders and executives to the extended ecosystem of partners and peers.
Her focus is on understanding what each company needs to grow, then curating the right resources, introductions, and tools to make it happen. She shares the same contagious passion as the entrepreneurs she works with, and she's the first person to show up with a pep talk when someone needs it. Whether she's streamlining workflows, designing founder gatherings, or reminding you that you're capable of way more than you think, Tilly's work is about creating leverage through connection – and making sure you actually believe in what you're building.
Over her 20-year career spanning venture firms and high-growth startups, Tilly has worn basically every hat. She's been a database guru, social marketer extraordinaire, and process development wizard – leading initiatives that have strengthened investor-founder networks and helped companies move faster without breaking things. After years working alongside investors and entrepreneurs, she's seen firsthand how hard it is to grow a company alone. So she's built her career around making sure founders never have to. Because great companies aren't built in isolation – they're built through the right connections, with people who show up when it counts.
Outside of Uncork, Tilly is a Portland native turned proud San Franciscan of 20 years. She is a pop music aficionado, low-code automation wizard, and collector of over 120 eclectic sunglasses. She's a Sagittarius Sun with a Scorpio Moon and Scorpio Rising – which is woo-woo for saying she's optimistic about everything and intense about all of it.
