What is your favorite Cove and Hill to travel to?
My favorite Cove to travel to is a small cove on Great Island in the Cape Cod National Seashore where the sun sets perfectly behind the sand and sea grass. The most beautiful hill I’ve ever been to is Poon Hill, which is really a mountain in Nepal’s Himalayas, that boasts some of the world’s most stunning views.
What’s your favorite part about investing in software?
Hands down it is the incredible opportunities we have to get to know impressive businesses and management teams. As a deeply curious person, I’m always eager to understand how enterprise software is making people and organizations more effective and efficient every day, and where there is opportunity for continued value creation.
