Lightspeed Venture Partners

I’m a Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, where I work with companies like Redpanda, Materialize, and others. I spent four formative years investing in growth-stage technology businesses at ICONIQ Capital, where I sourced and co-led investments in leading B2B software and internet companies like GitLab, Epic Games (Fortnite), ezCater, and Brightwheel and and additionally invested in others like Age of Learning, Alteryx (AYX), Fastly (FSLY), Relativity, SurveyMonkey (SVMK), and Uber (UBER). My first gig out of school was Technology, Media, and Telecommunications investment banking at J.P. Morgan. I got my MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. As a grad student, I worked at Confluent as a product manager, took advanced computer science courses, and served as Co-President and Vice President of the Venture Capital and Tech Clubs, respectively. I studied Economics at Yale University. While there, I worked at McKinsey & Company and on campus as a Student Tech, helping my fellow students solve their most dire computer problems. I was selected for Forbes 30 Under 30 Venture Capital and Venture Capital Journal 40 Under 40.
