Managing Director, Insight Partners

About

Krishnan Sastry brings 30+ years of hands-on operating experience across product, engineering, strategy, and operations before becoming a Managing Director at Insight Partners, including a unique "portfolio CEO to Insight MD" path where he led Appriss as CEO while it was backed by Insight. He holds multiple technology patents and operates from Louisville, Kentucky rather than traditional coastal VC hubs, while spanning an unusually broad sector footprint across health IT, cybersecurity, developer tools, fintech, retail, and future of work.
