The calendar that runs a CEO does not run itself. At Sanity, it answers to her.
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE CEO · SANITY · SAN FRANCISCO
At Sanity, the developers build a content operating system. The executives raise the money and set the direction. And somewhere in the middle of all that motion sits Maribel Garcia, the person who turns a chief executive's overloaded week into something that actually holds together.
Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer is one of those titles that hides how much it carries. The calendar. The travel. The meetings that move three times before lunch. The hundred small decisions that never reach a press release but decide whether a company moving at startup speed stays standing. Garcia works at the top of a Series C software company - one that pulled in $85 million in fresh funding in May 2025 - and her job is to make the chaos look like a plan.
What is striking is not the title. It is the road that led to it. Few people arrive at a San Francisco tech company by way of public health, school cafeterias, and a movie theatre floor. Garcia did.
Some people build the product. Some people build the time to build the product.
Figures describe Sanity, the company Garcia supports. Sanity reported roughly $146M raised across its history, with an $85M Series C closing in May 2025.
Read the resume backwards and it almost looks like a dare. Most people pick a lane. Garcia kept changing the vehicle while keeping the destination - work that puts people first - more or less the same.
A degree in public health is, at heart, training in how systems serve people. It is a useful thing to understand before you spend your days making a fast-moving organization run smoother for the humans inside it.
The theatre floor is a master class in service under pressure - long lines, sold-out shows, and a crowd that judges you by how calm you stay when the popcorn line wraps the lobby. Grace under volume starts here.
Revolution Foods set out to get healthy meals into schools that needed them. It is mission-driven work, the kind where logistics and good intentions have to actually meet. A natural fit for someone who studied public health.
The newest chapter, and the highest-stakes calendar yet. Garcia trades cafeterias and box offices for a software company whose product is, fittingly, about keeping content organized and in order.
From sold-out screenings to a CEO's triple-booked Tuesday, the skill is the same: take the scramble and hand back a schedule that works.
Public health, school meals, guest service. The common thread is a career spent close to the question of how to make things better for the person on the other side.
Switching from health to food to hospitality to tech is not drift. It is range - and range is exactly what the top of a startup needs nearby.
Sanity is the San Francisco company behind a platform developers use to model, store, and ship structured content across websites, apps, and every channel in between. Headless, API-first, and built for teams that treat content as data rather than pages.
It is the kind of place that scales in sharp jumps. A Series C round, roughly 230 employees, an enterprise client base, and the relentless calendar pressure that comes with all of it. The product organizes content so it does not sprawl into chaos. Garcia, in her own way, does the human version of the same job at the top of the org chart.
