Cecilia Manduca


Principal

Cecilia joined Talis in April 2020. She’s a generalist with a passion for TechBio, SynBio, Energy and Consumer Internet.

Cecilia co-founded a business in Italy during high-school and jumped back into the startup world after her Masters, leading Biz Dev and fundraising at an early-stage EnergyTech startup. She holds a MA in Human Geography from King’s College London and a BSc in Business Administration from Bolzano University.

She speaks four languages and has lived in four continents, including spending nine months in a tent in the Australian rainforest. Still a keen backpacker, when not travelling Cecilia can be found playing beach volleyball or exploring London’s quirky creative side.
