Prior to founding Costanoa, I was the Managing Director at Sutter Hill focusing on early stage, enterprise technology investments, including Merced Systems, AllBusiness, Quinstreet, Feedburner and Youku. Before Sutter Hill, I was the first hire at Netscape Communications after its founding engineering team. I was its first Product Manager, wrote the initial business plan, coined the name Netscape, and created the SuiteSpot Business Unit, which grew from zero to $140M in revenue. I also served as Manager of Business Development at Cisco where I architected a global channel management plan.
