Bio

Prior to joining USVP in 1990, Phil spent four years with Concord Partners, Dillon Read's venture capital operation in Palo Alto. With a specialty in the medical device industry, Phil has watched the evolution of new methodologies, such as the emergence of minimally-invasive treatments, into increasingly diverse and pervasive applications. Like other USVP partners, Phil arrived with extensive operating experience. He was President and CEO of Oximetrix, a manufacturer of critical care instruments and disposables, where he spent eight years growing the privately held venture-backed company from $1 million in revenues to nearly $50 million, when it was acquired by Abbott Laboratories and became Abbott Critical Care. Prior to Oximetrix, Phil spent six years at New Court Securities in venture capital and corporate finance, two years as a management consultant with McKinsey & Co, and six years on Admiral Rickover's program management staff at the Atomic Energy Commission. Phil represented USVP on the boards of directors of Aerogen, CardioThoracic Systems, CardioVascular Imaging Systems, CoCensys, Compugen, FemRx, Penederm, 3Dfx Interactive, Vical and Xoma—all ten of which became public companies, and on the boards of directors of RelayHealth, Synarc and St Francis Medical Technologies, which were acquired. Currently he sits on the boards of Zoran, a leading provider of digital solutions in the digital entertainment and digital imaging markets, and of privately held Apnicure, Aptus Endosystems, Bayhill Therapeutics, Dotomi, SentreHeart, and Talima Therapeutics. He also served on the Board of Trustees of Cornell University for eight years and continues to serve Cornell as a Trustee Emeritus, a Presidential Counsellor, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of eCornell, Cornell University's for-profit online distance learning subsidiary. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Phil earned a BME from Cornell University with High Distinction, an MS in Engineering Physics from George Washington University, and an MBA with High Distinction from Harvard, where he was a Baker Scholar.
