Michelle Cahn

I have spent the past 5 years working at RapidSOS, an emergency tech company that is transforming how we reach 911 and first responders. I started as an intern when the company was 10 people and have stayed with the company during our growth to about 150 employees. I spent my first few years growing the marketing team and ultimately was Director of Marketing and Communications, leading a team of 6 and reporting directly to the CEO. This summer I transitioned to the Chief of Staff role to help drive cross-functional alignment and help the company in this next stage of growth.
