Stephanie Geveda Startup Firm - Thoughts?

I'm sure a few monkeys on the forum have worked with Stephanie Geveda (ex Warburg). Can anyone give any insights to what working with her would be like? Got an inbound about her new fund and seems promising ($1.5B) but haven't heard of her before 

 

Have heard she's a killer - was leading business services at WP (one of the better groups) and really crushed it there. If she's got 1.5B will be a lot of upside for associates

Anecdotal

Either I, or a very close connection worked on sell-side, she was lead and a bidder at her prior firm. Presented early look on a real gem of an asset. At this point i believe she was on her way out given the timing. Engaged and took materials. Bid in line with other sponsors on asset (very aggressive multiple and/or credit for PF, she knew what was up). After vacuuming up all the LOI stage materials just disappeared, didn't even respond to her relationships. There were more than 1 heavy hitters on the deal given the size. 

Her resources really awkward / robotic / hate their life and seem to want to let it be known passive-aggresively when communicating on the phone or even email.

Another point, anecdotal to me, earlier in career, WP was final bidder for a sizeable tech asset, had exclusivity, just disappeared randomly with no communication/response
This was after negotiating purchase price and conceding to over 50% premium on their initial bid lol. Ended up trading for double that (so if their initial bid was $100, it traded for $200). On that deal I'll say, was impressed with the fresh out of college resource they put on this, really smart and quick thinker. Normal for them? Idk, those were my experiences. I don't count all the nonsense interactions where they take a book and then ghost. So many PE firms do that especially to the **** groveler MDs :)
