Managing Director at The Perkins Fund and Founder of Broadway Angels. VC at Menlo Ventures and TA Associates for over 25 years.
I am considered one of the best-performing and most senior women in venture capital. My career “home runs” — where I was the start-up investor — include AcmePacket (APKT), F5 Networks (FFIV), McAfee Associates (acquired by Intel) and Q1 Labs (acquired by IBM). I also have many “doubles” and “triples”. My track record with Internet, security, communication and enterprise companies is outstanding. Several of my investments have achieved multi-billion dollar valuations. I have been named Menlo Ventures' "Investor of the Year" 6 times - more than any other partner in the firm's history. In 2015, I was ranked by Worth Magazine #98 among the 100 Most Powerful People in Finance in the World.
