SVP of Technology

I started Code.org with the dream of bringing computer science education to every school and every student. I'm a technologist at heart. I enjoy building innovative technology products and services that have world-wide impact, as well as advising and investing in startups that do the same.

Congrats to my cousin Darian Shirazi for leading Gradient Ventures to successfully spin out of Google. 

Corporate venture funds rarely succeed, and even more rare is to succeed enough to spin out.
