Nori Welles-Gertz

Director

Nori began her rowing career in high school at Deerfield Academy, quickly falling in love with the sport and its emphasis on teamwork, hard work, and discipline. She sculled for Boston Rowing Club and Charles River Scullers during the summers and went on to row for Harvard-Radcliffe Women’s Heavyweight Crew at Harvard University. While in college, Nori also spent summers coaching high school girls at Charles River Scullers. Her years on the Connecticut River and the Charles River shaped her appreciation for the formative lessons offered by rowing and the role strong programs play in developing athletes on and off the water. Nori is now a Principal at ParkerGale Capital, a B2B technology-focused Private Equity firm in Chicago.
