Kira McCroden

Kira is the VP of Communications at Forerunner, the consumer-focused venture capital firm with over $2B in assets under management. At Forerunner, Kira supports the firm with marketing efforts and portfolio companies with a range of branding and PR programs.

Prior to joining Forerunner, Kira led Communications and Brand for Modern Fertility (a Forerunner portfolio company), joining at the seed stage and navigating multiple stages of growth before leading the company through its $225M acquisition (and then some). Before Modern Fertility, Kira led communications and marketing at Social Capital, as well as at various startups across several stages and industries — from fintech to b2b software, food tech and more.

After 10+ years of leading corporate, consumer, and internal communications through multiple market dips, twists and turns — Kira has, what she calls, “a very high pain tolerance.”
