I've been in tech for over 15 years, most recently as a VC focused on Cybersecurity, Cloud, AI/ML, DevOps, IoT and Enterprise Infrastructure. I’m a software engineer by training who transitioned though various roles in product management, management consulting and corporate strategy before getting into VC. I’m comfortable having technical conversations with engineers as well as driving sales and marketing strategy, and hiring senior executives across multiple functions. Worked and lived in Silicon Valley for a decade before moving back to Europe.https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/10/commercializing-deep-tech-startups-a-practical-guide-for-founders-and-investors/
