David took his first job in venture—at BRM Capital 18 years ago. He fell in love with this profession. It was venture that he found most engaging. After spending eight years at BRM, he joined Lightspeed in 2008. David focuses on IT infrastructure investments with a specific interest in cloud, enterprise applications, storage, cyber security, analytics, and big data. He approaches his work from the unique perspective of a long-distance runner. David not only keeps up with industry trends while on the move, listening to technology podcasts on early-morning runs, but also compares the company-building process to running a marathon.
