Aone Partners was founded by Gelila, an entrepreneur who has led global projects across BlackRock's Multi Asset Strategies Group. More recently, Gelila was an executive at a software holding company and a researcher at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business publishing 10+ studies covering strategic growth of software businesses. With Aone Partners, Gelila will acquire and lead the executive team of a top-tier enterprise software company for the long-term.
Background: Gelila grew up in Ethiopia, where she spent her high school summers working in hospitals. Those early experiences were formative in shaping how she leads organizations today. Gelila started working in hospital backrooms managing medicine inventory, preparing gauze in emergency rooms and overseeing client check-ins. From these experiences, Gelila discovered a lasting principle. Excellence is a result of thousands of details executed with precision.
At 18, Gelila accepted an offer for a merit scholarship and moved to New York with 2 suitcases, a sharp pen, and a lot of excitement. Since then, she completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Economics at Columbia University and an MBA at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
Driven by Mission: Gelila lives in New York and serves on the Boards of mission-driven organizations including Stanford Women’s Circles in NY and GGRF, a foundation that provides merit scholarships to hundreds of student athletes. She also serves on the Evaluation Committee of Project Redwood, a philanthropic organization that has provided over $5 million in financial capital to hundreds of non-profit organizations globally.
