I was at Robert Bosch Venture Capital (RBVC) from 2008-2024 as head of the North American office, based in Silicon Valley. I led a team of professional Investors that focused on sourcing and evaluating investment opportunities in North America. In addition, I held Board Director seats in many of my portfolio companies, including PubNub, Striim, Syntiant, Ultrasense, Tetravue, and others. I also held board seats at Xometry (IPO), Poka.io (acquired by IFS), FogHorn (acquired by Johnson Controls), DeepMap (acquired by NVIDIA), InSyte Systems (acquired by Qualcomm), Tetravue (assets sold). Prior to joining Bosch, I was an investment Partner for over six years with Siemens Venture Capital, based in Silicon Valley. Some of my investments included Agility Communications (acquired by JDSU), GENBAND (IPO), Covega(acquired by Gemfire), and Polychromix (acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). In all, I’ve been in Venture Capital for over 23 years and over seventeen years of operating experience in the hi-tech industry.
