General Partner

CRV is one of the nation's oldest and most successful early-stage venture capital firms and seeks to invest in consumer and enterprise technology companies that become category leaders or define new categories all together. CRV has offices in Menlo Park, CA and Cambridge, MA.

Since joining CRV in 2008, I have pioneered the firm's investments in the next generation of SaaS companies. I now focus on the impact of social, mobile, big data and cloud on businesses (large and small). I have had the good fortune of being very early in three high-growth and successful start-ups. Prior to joining CRV, I was the co-founder and CEO of Yantra, a leading e-commerce platform that helps the largest retailers in the world manage multi-channel retail. Yantra had over 500 employees when it was acquired by AT&T's division (Sterling). Prior to that, I joined Infosys in 1987 as a very early employee and helped define and sell the offshore software model that propelled Infosys from a small startup to one of the best IT services companies in the world. Prior to Infosys, I joined KBX as a very early employee and played a variety of roles including marketing, sourcing, corporate planning as the company scaled from a startup to a fast-growing public company. Learned a lot and now continue to learn from the entrepreneurs that I interact with every day.
