He/she would bring deal experience, VC and private equity relationships, knowledge of building similar stage companies crossing the chasm into profitable public companies, and would have credibility with the Street, with entrepreneurs, and with attracting key hires. People like Tod Francis (Shasta), David Sze (Greylock), Jonathan Tower (Citron), Heidi Roizen (ex-Mobius), or George Zachary (Charles River Ventures) would be a place to start.
