Hearst Ventures, the corporate venturing arm of US-headquartered media group Hearst, has augmented its team with three appointments across offices in the US, UK and China.
The unit has promoted Kunal Mehta to principal at Hearst Ventures’ New York office. He joined Hearst Ventures in early 2018 from New York University’s Innovation Venture Fund.
Jacqueline Cegla has been hired as senior associate who will be based at the unit’s London office, splitting her time between there and Tel Aviv, Israel, focusing on deal flow across both countries.
Cegla was previously an associate at venture capital fund MMC Ventures from late 2018, having previously spent about 18 months at BCG Digital Ventures, a corporate venturing and incubation vehicle for consulting firm Boston Consulting Group.
Hearst Ventures also hired Isabel Lo, in March this year, as an associate based at its Shanghai office. The move ended a tenure as senior investment associate at VC firm Amphora Capital that began in 2017.
Lo began her career with Hearst China in 2015 as a venture intern before being promoted to corporate development analyst later the same year.
