Jennifer Ting, Rebecca Chimwanda, and Kalyn Schieffer are promoted to Principal, strengthening the business services platform Anzu Partners has built across finance, people, and communications
- Jennifer Ting, who leads fund accounting as a senior member of the Finance team.
- Rebecca (Becky) Chimwanda, who leads people operations for Anzu and its portfolio companies.
- Kalyn Schieffer, who leads public relations and external communications for both Anzu Partners and its portfolio companies.
“Jennifer, Becky, and Kalyn have each made an exceptional contribution to what sets Anzu apart — a fully built-out business services platform that gives our portfolio companies access to deep operational expertise across finance, people, and communications,” said Cathryn Paine, Partner, Anzu Partners. “Not every venture capital firm is making this type of investment in its own platform, and we believe it makes a real difference for the founders and companies we back. These promotions reflect both their individual achievements and our continued commitment to supporting our companies as they scale.”
Anzu has built its business services platform in-house rather than relying on external service providers, giving portfolio companies direct access to senior operators in fund accounting, people operations, and communications. The promotions of Jennifer, Becky, and Kalyn reflect the firm’s continued investment in this model.
Since joining Anzu in 2024, Jennifer Ting has brought more than 17 years of fund accounting experience to the firm’s financial operations, with a specialization in private equity and hedge fund structures. In her role, Jennifer oversees Anzu’s fund accounting function, ensuring the operational precision that underpins the firm’s ability to move quickly and effectively on behalf of its portfolio companies. Prior to joining Anzu, Jennifer held senior roles at LSV Advisors, LLC and The Blackstone Group. She earned her B.S. in Accounting from Pennsylvania State University.
Rebecca (Becky) Chimwanda has been promoted to Principal in recognition of her contributions to building the people infrastructure that supports Anzu’s growing team and portfolio. Based in Boston, Becky oversees workforce planning, talent management, compensation, and HR systems, providing portfolio companies with access to human resources expertise that is rarely available through a venture capital partner. Prior to Anzu, Becky served as Assistant Director of HRIS, Compensation, and Human Resources at Merrimack College, and previously held HR operations and management roles at Broadridge Financial Solutions, UTC Aerospace, and Liberty Mutual. Becky earned her B.B.A. and M.B.A. from Hofstra University.
Kalyn Schieffer leads the public relations and external communications for Anzu Partners and its portfolio companies, helping build awareness and drive growth across key markets. Her team gives Anzu portfolio companies access to dedicated communications and media relations expertise at a stage when strong market positioning can be a meaningful competitive advantage. Prior to joining Anzu, Kalyn served as Account Supervisor at March Communications, a Boston-based B2B tech PR agency, where she managed communications programs for companies ranging from early-stage startups to large public enterprises. Kalyn earned her B.A. in Public Relations and Communication Studies from the University of Rhode Island.
