Maile Summer Paulmeier

Events and Marketing

“Living in the in-between, when nothing was resolved, everything was potential.”

– Rana Dasgupta

Maile was born and raised in Bluffton, South Carolina and came to the Bay Area for college. “Let’s just say I made it to the Big City – hey now!”

At Stanford, her favorite activity was writing and performing in her sketch comedy group, Robber Barons – where a pasttime quickly became a passion. TMI.

At Pear, she loves imbuing her passion for community and comedy into all that is events and marketing. Let’s just say she’s got the right pear-sonality for it. Her most used emoji is me reacting to that previous sentence.

Outside of work you’ll find me…

Writing and performing comedy, driving to work, and driving home from work.

Creating a community for early-stage founders cannot be underestimated. Throughout college, all of my jobs, leadership positions, and even my major (who’s asking) centered on creating and facilitating community. There is no greater feeling than knowing someone is in your corner. At Pear, it is my goal to create and host events that take people from being within your network – to being in your corner.
