Bio

Venture capital investor focused on early-stage cloud, data and cybersecurity startups. I help technical founders build lasting companies as a trusted long-term partner. I enjoy supporting founders with a balance of technical know-how, customer insights and empathy. Over time, I have built a deep network of software builders, sales leaders, investors and CXO buyers that I try to make available to founders. My first exposure to cloud was as a software engineering intern in 2008 who was tasked with building scalable Apps on AWS. I was a product manager at AppNeta (acquired by Broadcom), a Bain Capital-backed startup where I built network and application performance management products. Outside of work, I enjoy building communities and bringing people together. I have a BS in Computer Science from IIT and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management.
