He remains a General Partner at Foundation Capital (where he is no longer making new investments). He currently serves on the boards of Orkus, ForgeRock, Visier, Moxie Software, SilkRoad Technology. He was named to the Forbes Midas List of Technology's Top Investors for his work with SilverSpring Networks. Bunny is a four time CEO of venture backed companies, and worked with Steve Jobs at Next Software. Bunny is also on the board of the Weiss Scholarship Foundation. The foundation was created in memory of Bernard and Elsie Weiss. In spite of their difficult circumstances, they worked hard to make sure their three sons had a great education—and therefore great lives. Bernard and Elsie were passionate about education and understood its importance in creating a successful life. That’s why Brett, their son, felt it was appropriate to begin this foundation in their memory. Inspired by Bernard’s and Elsie’s dedication and passion, we work each day to empower children by trying to create a world in which every child has the opportunity to receive a great education. Most recently, Warren was President and Chief Executive Officer at Asera, a real-time software solutions provider. Previously, Warren served as President and Chief Executive Officer at Prism Solutions during the company’s transition from data warehousing tools provider to business intelligence application deliverer. Prior to that, Warren was President of SQRIBE Technologies (now Hyperion) and earlier, President and Chief Executive Officer at SMI. Warren has held numerous other senior executive positions at Next Software (Apple), Continuum (Computer Sciences Corporation) and Dun & Bradstreet Software. Warren holds a B.S. degree from Western Illinois University.
