About Karrisha Gillespie

I invest in, build, and scale growth-stage businesses. My work sits at the intersection of operating leadership and capital — partnering with founders, analyzing financial performance, and translating strategic intent into disciplined execution, sustainable growth, and long-term enterprise value.At Advanced MedAesthetic Partners, I bring that investor-operator lens to both sides of my role: leading performance across our national platform of established practices and developing a new expansion initiative for emerging medspa operators. Through it all, I remain anchored in civic engagement and community stewardship. I serve on the Board of Advisors for the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts.
