Balderton Capital has appointed Rachel Bremer as chief marketing and communications officer.
Previously a partner at global advisory firm Milltown Partners, where she worked with leading global technology companies and high-growth startups, Bremer has also served as global communications director at ASOS, where she ran corporate and consumer PR, public affairs and influencer marketing while editing the quarterly customer print magazine.
She previously spent almost five years at Twitter as international communications director, responsible for developing the communications strategy and building the team, while growing and protecting the company’s brand outside of North America.
Bremer started her career in San Francisco at tech PR agency Sparkpr, where she helped launch new startups, worked closely with venture capital firms and their portfolio companies, and supported leading tech brands like Skype and NVIDIA.
She will be responsible for providing support and advice for the 100+ active companies within Balderton’s portfolio.
“Balderton has a strong reputation as one of Europe’s leading venture capital firms, and it has grown so much recently – including the introduction of a growth fund last year and significant expansion of the portfolio support team,” she said.
“It is such an exciting time to be joining the firm.”
Suranga Chandritallake, general partner at Balderton, added: “The journey of building any company from struggling startup to industry giant is always remarkable – and the ability to communicate that story and why it matters is central to winning customers, building a team and creating value.
“Rachel is one of the technology world’s foremost practitioners of this art and so I am excited to see the impact she can bring to both Balderton and the portfolio companies we work with.”
