About
Guy Russo has served as Canaan Partners' CFO and Administrative General Partner since 1997 after joining as Controller in 1988, giving him over three decades of continuous responsibility for the firm's finance, operations, and administration—much longer than most GPs who rotate in from deal roles. Unlike typical investing partners who come from founder or banking backgrounds, his path is rooted in venture finance and operations with a CPA and MBA in Accounting, and he operates from Overland Park, Kansas rather than coastal hubs.
