Halle Berry Takes New Role Pitching Sequoia-Backed Health Firm

Halle Berry, the actor, producer and director, recently began what she calls her second act: a role as chief communications officer at Pendulum Therapeutics, a probiotics company backed by investors such as Sequoia Capital.

“I feel it’s incumbent upon me to use any influence I have over everyday people for good,” she said Thursday at the Bloomberg Technology Summit in San Francisco. Berry, who was diagnosed with diabetes when she was younger, joined the company in February after using Pendulum’s product, which is designed to restore metabolic health.
