Prior to joining DCM, George worked at Redpoint Ventures as an Associate, where assisted in a variety of investments in the private market. He was responsible for sourcing, analyzing, modeling, performing due diligence and leading the deals. His experience in video/social/ecommerce/community enables him to understand how important “connectivity” is to enhance efficiency and user experience. Before that, he was a member of M&A team at 58.com(NASDAQ:WUBA) and saw how a listed Internet company operates. George started his career as an analyst at BDA, a consulting firm serving global PE giants including those most successful financial institutions.
George is a loyal fan of the Star Wars Series and Anakin’ s turning to the dark side definitely let him down as a boy in middle school.
