About
Hi. I'm Halle (rhymes with sally) Tecco (tech-oh).
I'm passionate about technology, social entrepreneurship, and healthy living. I live in San Francisco with my husband Jeff Hammerbacher and our cat Fabio.
I'm the co-founder & CEO of Rock Health, a startup accelerator at the intersection of health and technology. I work with incredible entrepreneurs, get little sleep, and have the best job on earth.
Previously I worked in business and product roles at Apple and Intel, and founded the non-profit YogaBear. I have an MBA from Harvard Business School, where I worked on projects for Pandora, Nike, NASA, and Harvard Medical School.
