Fiona Chen

Fiona is a seasoned management consultant with nearly a decade of experience helping Fortune 100 companies navigate technology-based challenges, optimize people management strategies, and manage post-M&A integrations. In parallel, she ventured into entrepreneurship with the launch of a telecommunications startup. While her initial foray did not reach the success she envisioned, she acquired invaluable lessons in resilience, leadership, and the realities of scaling in dynamic markets.

Through Scaled Equity, she strives to create value for early-stage companies via her consulting services, and share her recommendations on markets and startups to follow via her investment memos. Her lifelong passion for building ventures lies within her upbringing. As the eldest child of a single parent household, she spent half her childhood in government housing and witnessed firsthand how equity can create meaningful, lasting impact in underserved communities. She is currently pursuing her MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business where she is deepening her focus in entrepreneurship, strategy management, and operational leadership. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring Chicago’s food scene, supporting her community via her nonprofit (Ficaar Foundation), and baking triple-layered cakes for her friends and family.
