Karim Faris

Karim leads GV’s investments in enterprise software and analytics as the IT stack reorganizes and learning algorithms extend our ability to gain insight from large amounts of data. He also has a passion for security innovation at a time when those technology shifts are continuously expanding vulnerable surface areas. Before joining GV, Karim served on Google’s corporate development team and held business and product development positions at Level 3 Communications. Earlier in his career, Karim took on various product and marketing roles at Intel, initially on the i486 and later as product manager for the Pentium processor. He started his career at Siemens as a software engineer working on the first vehicle navigation system for BMW. Karim is drawn to mission-driven founders with a healthy disregard for the impossible.
