Founder & President, TDK Ventures | Backing Founders. Scaling Impact. Shaping Our Future.
I’m honored to share that I’ve been appointed Chair of the Global Corporate Venturing (GCV) Leadership Society for a two-year term. Having been part of this extraordinary community for years, I have witnessed the generosity, vision, and impact that define CVC leaders worldwide. As Chair, my focus will be to: 1) Advance the Society’s mission of learning, collaboration, and impact, 2) Promote actionable insights and performance benchmarks, firstly through the GCV Keystone Annual Survey, 3) And foster a spirit of trust and entrepreneurial partnership to take CVC to new heights. A special thank-you to the entire GCV team and James Mawson for building this world-class community. I also want to acknowledge my affiliation with the Kauffman Fellows network, which continues to shape my thinking about venture capital excellence, leadership development, and cross-ecosystem collaboration. I believe our work across GCV and Kauffman Fellows will unlock powerful opportunities for shared learning, stronger global CVC practices and higher impact. At TDK Ventures, we believe the future of CVC requires both discipline and imagination, driving both strategic alignment and the entrepreneurial drive that founders expect from their investors. The GCV Leadership Society champions these same ideals. My hope is that together, we raise the bar for what corporate venture capital can achieve through better data, deeper partnerships across the full venturing ecosystem, and a shared commitment to equal-win innovation. I encourage everyone in our community to participate in the GCV Keystone Annual Survey—your insights matter. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dhwpzBK6 [globalventuring.com]
