Managing Director, Insight Partners

About

Lonne Jaffe brings an unusual combination of deep CEO and operating experience before becoming a venture investor, having run Syncsort (an Insight portfolio company) and held senior strategy roles at CA Technologies and IBM for over a decade. He focuses on multi-decade compounding growth in software companies and has developed a distinctive thesis that generative AI creates new opportunities for European companies despite the region's traditional AI disadvantages, viewing technical challenges like hallucinations and alignment as market opportunities rather than obstacles.
