I spent a few years at Royal Dutch Shell in venture capital, as well as working in venture capital the investment firm behind Yellowpages.com, and in private equity.  I started my career at Bankers Trust in energy, then the 8th largest bank in the US.  In between I cofounded 7 tech startups, mostly in cleantech and held every executive and board job in startup.  My startups have gone on to raise half a billion dollars, done amazing world firsts and been powered by amazing people.  I am from Houston, Texas originally, began my career in investment banking in the oil industry, but have a soft spot for technologies that can change the way we power our lives and the effect we have on the environment.
