Kristen
Winzent

Kristen leads communications at Gigascale and works with portfolio companies to build right-sized brand strategies that move the business forward. She’s known for distilling complex technologies into clear, memorable stories that connect technical innovation to real-world impact.

She brings over 17 years of experience across editorial content, communications, advertising, and brand strategy. Before Gigascale, Kristen cofounded The Regenerates, a boutique consultancy focused on climate technologies, alongside Gigascale colleague Merrill Feather, where she served as fractional CMO for more than 25 early-stage startups and investors.

Previously, she was part of the Pramana Collective, a strategic communications firm advising startups, venture capital firms, and global brands through major inflection points—from self-flying aircraft launches to high-profile leadership transitions. Earlier in her career, she led global creative campaigns at Airbnb, helped launch Google Fiber and Chromebook, and ran multi-channel marketing programs for eBay while at Digitas.

Kristen began her career in PR at Ogilvy & Mather in China and interned in public affairs for the U.S. House of Representatives. She holds a BA in International Relations from the University of Denver, with minors in Mandarin and Economics.
