Madrona

Seattle-based Madrona appointed Wei Gao as venture partner, Anna Baird as operating partner and Vivek Ramaswami as partner. Gao will help identify new investments and provide strategic and operational advice to Madrona portfolio companies. She brings over 20 years of operating leadership across product, technology and business operations. As a 16-year veteran of Amazon, she worked in increasingly senior technical leadership roles, including as technical adviser to Jeff Bezos and vice president of Amazon Grocery. She later became the COO at shared experiences platform Hopin. Baird has been a COO, CFO and CRO — most recently at Outreach.io, a sales engagement platform. Prior to Outreach, she was CFO of Livongo, senior vice president at McAfee, and partner at KPMG. Baird also serves on the SeatGeek board of directors. Ramaswami, based in the Palo Alto, California, office, joins Madrona from Steadfast Capital. Prior to Steadfast, Ramaswami was a principal at Redpoint Ventures. Madrona is a venture capital firm with over 25 years of experience investing in early-stage technology companies.
