About Me

He joined the company's board when he was executive vice president at NetDynamics, an application server software company that was acquired by Sun Microsystems a year later. He joined venture capital firm Technology Crossover Ventures as a partner in 2000 and moved five years later to New Enterprise Associates, where he remains a venture partner today. During his 50-year career as an operating executive and VC, he's been involved in 12 IPOs, including Nvidia and data visualization company Tableau, as well as 13 acquisitions. He is also a director of publicly-traded cybersecurity company Tenable Holdings and solar financing startup GoodLeap.
