Rob Das is a Venture Partner at SparkLabs Global Ventures. He possess expertise in enterprise software, cloud computing, saas, big data. Colleagues describe him as "Over seven years Rob has been a very important and close founding partner at Splunk. I've learned so much working with Rob including the profound value of slow and steady wins the race. As is often the case in early stage companies, the many type-A personalities on the team rush to make decisions and move quickly towards execution. Rob balances the other end of the spectrum providing a calming effect over the critical architecture, technical and key product direction decisions. Even more importantly, every young company faces moments of doubt and truth that define its very existence and survival. Rob has always been a steady hand through the ups and downs of the start-up life. Having worked together for more than 15 years together, I can say I've never had a better founding partner."
