About Anna Elwood
Anna Elwood is COO at Cascade, a strategy-execution platform that helps companies translate plans into operational results. She joined the company after a long run at Zocdoc, where she started as an operations associate when the website still had a beta tag in the corner and grew with the business through its high-growth years in healthcare technology.
Elwood did not take a conventional path into operating roles. She trained as an actor, moved to New York with her Equity card, and worked a series of jobs to pay rent before she joined Zocdoc. She describes herself as a generalist who has touched many parts of businesses across industries, drawn to interesting problems that stretch her.
Her operating focus at Cascade is the systems, rhythms, and AI tools that help companies move from strategy to execution without the chaos of disconnected planning.
