About
Michael Marks brings a rare operator-to-investor background, having built Flextronics from a small contract manufacturer into a global electronics giant with tens of billions in revenue, then repeatedly stepped out of investor roles to serve as CEO or chairman at portfolio companies like Katerra rather than remaining a passive board member. His deep manufacturing and supply-chain experience from leading global operations gives him a distinctive lens for evaluating complex, asset-heavy industrial technologies that differentiates him from investors whose backgrounds are primarily in software or banking.
