Digital-economy-focused Parisian VC Iris Capital has appointed Bernhard Gold as partner in its San Francisco office.
Gold will be based in the Californian town and take on the role as managing director of Iris Capital North America.
Before joining Iris, Gold served as managing director at T-Venture in the US – the corporate VC arm of Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile) – where since 2010 he handled investment activities in North America. Prior to working in the US, Gold had been investment director for T-Venture in Germany since 2007.
