The power of choice and the power of wait is sweet|Aidan Madigan Curtis,General Partner,Eclipse Ventures 00:10:00
Aidan is a true frontierswoman — not only as a trail-running Canadian originally from the rugged Rocky Mountains, but also as a leader of world-class teams at Apple and Samsara that have pushed the boundaries of the digital-physical technology frontier. From scaling manufacturing operations from zero to millions of weekly units for the first-ever AppleWatch, to growing Samsara’s connected operations platform to hyperscale and the 20,000+ customer business it is today, Aidan knows what it takes to build and scale full-stack companies. Aidan is a deep believer in technologies that help the industrial and healthcare sectors transcend traditional physical-digital divides. She’s built businesses that utilize cutting-edge techniques in computer vision for workplace safety and security, paired minds with the world’s pre-eminent experts in sensor, mobile and wearable device manufacturing to bring new innovative manufacturing practices to market, and scaled cellular, cloud, support and 3PL operations and infrastructure for millions of IoT connected devices. While Aidan loves bringing new technologies to market, she is equally — if not more — passionate about providing access to capital and leadership roles for underrepresented groups across a diverse spectrum of talent. She was a founding member of Samsara’s DEI committee and co-founded and led Samsara’s PRIDE employee resource group to a 300+ membership scale. Aidan has a BA in economics from Harvard University and an MBA from Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.
