Deepening Coatue’s operations talent across sustainability & recruiting: Welcoming Alexandra Hirsch, Jasmine Meng, and Alice Colantuoni

We are delighted to welcome Alexandra Hirsch, Jasmine Meng, and Alice Colantuoni to the Coatue team as we deepen our operations talent across sustainability and recruiting.

Announcing Coatue’s new Head of ESG

Alexandra Hirsch will build on the firm’s commitment to sustainability as Head of ESG, based in New York. Alexandra joins us from BlackRock, where she was Head of Sustainable Product Research and Design on the sustainable investing team.

We are excited for Alexandra to work with our investment partners, portfolio companies, and LPs as we continue to find ways to integrate sound ESG practices into our own business and leverage our ESG experience for the benefit of our founders.

Nathan Urquhart, President at Coatue, said “Asset managers, public companies and startups alike are grappling with implementing and executing effective ESG strategies. Alexandra’s experience in sustainable product research, environmental strategy, and climate technology will be invaluable as she takes on the role of Head of ESG at Coatue, and we’re thrilled to have her on our team.”

Deepening recruiting & talent operations

Jasmine Meng, who previously spent five years working as Coatue’s VP of Human Resources, rejoins our talent team after most recently working as a senior talent partner at the Chicago Trading Company. We are thrilled to welcome her back to our New York office, where she will spearhead our technical recruiting efforts and provide support to our portfolio companies. Jasmine’s thoughtful, thorough, and personal approach - honed over a decade of agency-side and in-house recruiting roles - will deepen our bench and expand our network across data science, AI, and our investment team.

Alice Colantuoni joins our recruiting team to help us grow the Coatue team and recruit for internal roles. She spent over a decade in search, most recently as Vice President at Dynamics Search Partners, working to recruit star performers in the investment space.

“Finding and retaining exceptional talent is what makes for truly great businesses. In Jasmine and Alice, we’re bringing on two seasoned talent operators to help us do just that, both for Coatue and our network of companies. Their combined experience will help us source for highly specialized and competitive roles, and I’m delighted to welcome them to the team,” said Joanna Albright, Chief Talent Officer, Coatue.
