Personal news update! … I’m joining the venture platform at LGT Capital Partners.
It’s been nearly 15 years since I joined @NinoMarakovic at @SapphireVC to help build @SapphirePrtnrs - and hard to believe our working relationship started another 15 years before that at Morgan Stanley waayyy back in 1994.
Since that time, it’s been the privilege of a lifetime to work alongside him, and to help build what Sapphire Partners has become.
I’m incredibly proud of the team, the relationships, and the managers we’ve had the chance to partner with along the way. That’s always been the most meaningful part.
I’m lucky to be making this move alongside @LauraLPThompson , @natewcl , Dan Clayton, Vittorio Reynoso-Avila, and Anna Jacoby.
This wasn’t an easy decision, but over time it became clear this was the right step—for our team, for Sapphire, for LGT, and for the managers we support.
The opportunity came together naturally through our long relationship with @TKtwitster and the LGT team. I’ve known Thomas for over a decade and have always respected his thoughtful approach to venture.
At a high level, this is about alignment and continuing to build—just at greater scale. We’re not changing what we do, just expanding where and how we do it.
What made Sapphire so special to me, though, was always the people—the ones who made the work meaningful every day.
While I won’t be in the same place day to day, this isn’t a goodbye—just a different way of working together.
Grateful to everyone at Sapphire who made the past 15 years so meaningful 💙
I’m taking a short break before starting at LGT on April 15—spending some time with my son before he heads off to college this Fall. A big transition for both of us. 🤲
Looking forward to what’s ahead. 💫✨
