I am General Counsel of Venture/Growth at a16z. Prior to joining a16z I was a corporate and securities partner at Wilson Sonsini, Goodwin and Freshfields in Silicon Valley, where I represented numerous private and start-up companies in matters ranging from incorporation and initial capitalization to venture capital financings, strategic transactions, and board fiduciary duties. I also represented public companies in securities offerings, mergers and acquisitions, SEC reporting, and corporate governance matters. In addition, I represented investment banks in their underwriting transactions, and also have broad transactional experience representing venture capital firms, private equity firms, family offices, and corporate strategic investors in connection with their investments.
