General Partner with Pelion Venture Partners, with specific responsibility for our firm's Web3, blockchain and cryptocurrency efforts, where we are invested in over 20 companies. Former SVP of Corporate Development at Oracle and MEMC. I have also served successfully as a high-tech CEO, leading three different companies to triple-digit revenues growth, and as a Managing Director/EIR of a dominant regional venture fund. I ran Oracle’s Corporate Development group and its $500M venture fund. That fund invested in 37 companies, and was in the top tier of venture funds for returns in its era. As a corporate development professional, I have long experience in acquiring companies for my employers, in striking deals in the areas of technology licensing, and in making strategic investments.
