Shereen Zarkani

Managing Partner and Head of Maersk Growth, Maersk Growth

About

Shereen Zarkani spent 20+ years as a Maersk operator running a 3,000-person global sales organization before moving into venture capital, giving her unusually deep first-hand understanding of supply chain problems compared to traditional finance-background corporate VC leaders. She was brought in specifically by Maersk's CEO as a bridge builder between Maersk Growth and the core business, and only pursues investments with clear strategic value while using a simple ABCD framework to describe the specific unfair advantages Maersk can provide to startups.
