Meeker Moves to Kleiner Perkins

Longtime Morgan Stanley analyst Mary Meeker, an early proponent of the Internet economy, has taken a new job as a partner with legendary Menlo Park, CA-based venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. KPCB reported the news in a press release this morning. As the firm’s newest partner, Meeker will be based in Silicon Valley and will “travel often to New York and Asia,” the firm said. “KPCB has a long and exceptional track record of helping entrepreneurs build world-changing ventures and launch new industries,” Meeker said in the announcement. “We’re at the beginning of another great wave of tech innovation and I am incredibly excited by the opportunity to help the next generation of Internet technologies and leaders.”

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
