Tracey Miles
So much of what is discussed in the pages of PEI Manager concerns how private equity and venture firms are defining and refining their administrative roles, from who tackles HR, to who chooses the IT provider. For many VC firms, these tasks still land on the plate of the office manager. Tracey Miles was one such manager who felt that she and her peers at other firms would benefit from sharing best practices. So she founded the Venture Capital Office Managers Association (VCOMA), a trade group that gives these office managers a place to exchange ideas, commiserate and pool purchasing power to win discounts from vendors. Rob Kotecki recently spoke with Miles about the association, its roots and its agenda.
