The firm has achieved exceptional outcomes, including Honey (acquired by PayPal for $4 billion), AuditBoard (acquired by Hg for $3 billion), and ServiceTitan (valued at over $7 billion), delivering over 30x DPI on its inaugural fund.

• Asiaweek was a regional sister magazine to TIME. Newly recruited into Time Inc. from Turner Broadcasting (a sister company under Time Warner), my first role was to either turnaround or close this marginally performing business. Over the course of two years, my team and I recruited new teams across sales, marketing, editorial, and finance, where we cut $10 million in cost. The business still underperformed, so we decided to close it in 2001, laying off 60 staff. It was not a fun job - but this is where I learned to manage a large P&L and to make very hard decisions at scale.
