Ashok Krishnamurthi is a venture capital investor at GreatPoint Ventures who co-founded Xsigo Systems with his brothers before it was acquired by Oracle, and previously served as one of the early leaders at Juniper Networks where he ran major infrastructure product groups during the company's hypergrowth phase. He focuses on what he calls the "race to inference" and backs "mission control" platform companies that orchestrate complex workflows in regulated markets, drawing from his deep technical background in building networking and virtualization systems rather than approaching investments purely from a financial perspective.
