Sumeet joined CMEA Capital in 2008 in the firm's Technology group. Sumeet brings a perspective to investing that comes from having been intimately involved with entrepreneurship and technology from multiple angles - as a startup executive and operator, an engineer, a strategy consultant, and an investment banker. Immediately prior to CMEA, Sumeet was with Goldman, Sachs & Co. in its technology investment banking group. At Goldman Sachs, he focused on mergers and acquisitions as well as equity and debt financing transactions for many venture and private equity backed companies in the software, internet and semiconductor sectors.
Prior to Goldman Sachs, Sumeet held senior positions in sales and business development at iManage, a start up content management Software Company, until its acquisition by Interwoven in 2003. Previously, Sumeet was with Personify, an early web analytics software company (acquired by Accrue Software), where he helped start and grow the company with executive roles in product management, business development, sales and professional services. He began his career with Andersen Consulting (Accenture) where he worked on strategy for companies in Andersen Technology Ventures portfolio.
Sumeet has earned a BS, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science from Cornell University and a MBA in Entrepreneurial Management and Finance from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
