Today, in a letter to the membership of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), President Mark Heesen announced his decision to retire after successfully leading the Association for the past 22 years. Earlier this year, Mr. Heesen informed the Board of Directors and the staff of his intention to complete his tenure as President and support the transition to new leadership in whatever way possible. In his letter, Mr. Heesen thanked the venture community for the opportunity to represent them, also acknowledging the work and travel required in his long-time role, saying:
“Words cannot express what a privilege it has been to lead and advocate for the venture capital industry for the past 22 years. It has been an incredible ride, one that has seen tremendous progress and change in our industry and in Washington D.C. And personally, I have deposited well over a million frequent flyer points in my account, a milestone that has me looking forward to more time at home with my wife Stacy and my daughters Claudia and Amelia.”
