From leading product management at Check Point in the early days of the firewall industry to identifying and incubating generations of category-defining companies—Palo Alto Networks, Imperva, Rubrik, Abnormal and many others.

An unconventional and unexpected next chapter for someone who has spent 30 years seeing around corners. @GreylockVC @CylakeAI @nirzuk @chandna
i had the good fortune to be mentored by “mm” when i joined sequoia, shadowing him my first year and learning more than i imagined. working alongside him was a privilege, occasionally intimidating, and often a joy. props to patrick for drawing out the wit, charm and heart of sir michael. left me smiling and misty-eyed. well worth a listen. @sequoia
