Elena has over a decade of experience, working with family offices and high net worth individuals (HNWIs). She began her career as an M&A and tax lawyer working with few large families transitioning to a private banker at UBS, Zurich.
While in Zurich Elena visited WEF and got excited about new technologies. She started investing in venture capital deals through angel syndicates and venture funds. Elena realized that few HNWI and families want to diversify their portfolio and invest in alternatives assets, but may lack the network to have access to the best deals.
Thus, Elena founded Astra Global, a multi-family office that deploys capital to revolutionary tech opportunities for few families and angel syndicates. Astra Global also shares such opportunities with its network of growth funds and family offices network for potential co-investments.
To date, Astra Global has established relationships with 1,250 global family offices and growth investors with a combined net worth of $230 billion who are actively seeking new technology deals.
Elena spent eight years working as M&A and tax lawyer at family offices, leading cross border deals with the total deal amount about $1b.
Elena has graduated from Columbia and London Business Schools.
