Reilly Heine, Partner
Reilly’s passion is people and her professional conviction is that it’s the people, not the product or idea, that will propel a company forward.
The foundations of her people-centric approach to company growth were established during her time at Bridgewater Associates - an organization that became the world’s largest hedge fund. There, Reilly learned to marry high volume with high quality recruiting, while also building structured talent programs for new internal clients.
Reilly helps founders translate great ideas into realized accomplishments. At Girl Rising she put in place the people and processes to take the non-profit around the world, from the US to Nigeria, the DRC, India and beyond. She brokered a partnership with Michelle Obama, assembled a Board of Directors, and unlocked millions of dollars in funding while identifying new revenue streams to further the organization’s programming.
Reilly graduated with a BA in Philosophy from Boston College and later earned her MBA from Columbia Business School, where she focused on the intersection of human capital and organizational design. Prior to joining High Slope, she served as Head of Talent at Kaia Health, a German digital therapeutics startup backed by Optum Ventures, Idinvest, among other of Europe’s largest institutional investors.
