Battery Ventures has promoted eight investors across its four offices worldwide including three principals who work closely with the firm’s general partners to manage investments: Brandon Gleklen, based in New York; Dillon Joyce, in San Francisco; and Justin Rosner, in Boston.
Gleklen, who joined the technology-focused investment firm in 2015, focuses on early- and growth-stage investments in business-software and consumer-tech companies, while Joyce and Rosner specialise in later-stage deals. Joyce joined the firm in 2016 and focuses on growth and majority-growth investments in business-software and industry-specific software companies. Rosner, who has worked at Battery since 2014, focuses on growth and buyout deals in the industrial-technology and life-science tools sector.
Battery has also promoted Dawit Workie, based in Boston, to vice president, and elevated four others to the role of associate: George Christopher in Boston, Olivia Henkoff and Peter Winans in New York, and Juliette Silvain in London.
Battery also announced the hiring of a new human resources partner, Kristen Manning, to support the firm’s continued growth.
Battery’s new investment funds, announced earlier this month and intended to be deployed across stages, from seed- and early-stage venture to growth and buyout, include Battery Ventures XIV and a companion fund, together capitalised at $3.3 billion, and the $530 million Battery Ventures Select Fund II, a vehicle intended to make additional investments primarily in portfolio companies of the firm’s other funds.
