Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJack Greenfield is a seasoned technology and investment leader who blends decades of enterprise architecture and product strategy with active venture investing and board work. He has led large-scale platform and cloud transformations at Walmart, Google, Microsoft and PayPal while founding and advising startups, and now directs deal selection and portfolio support as Managing Director at K2 Access Fund and Lookout Ventures. Jack’s technical depth spans hybrid and public cloud, big data, machine learning, security and commerce systems, and he has hands-on open-source contributions to high-profile projects like the Helm Kubernetes package manager. A prolific speaker, author and inventor, he pairs patents and technical standards work with award-winning books on strategy and software development. Unusually for a senior investor, he still ships code and drove critical migrations such as Google Drive’s backend move, giving him rare credibility across engineering, product and investment conversations. Based in Colorado Springs, he combines an MBA from UCLA Anderson with a physics background to evaluate opportunities from both technical and financial lenses.
