Edward Chung is a venture capital investor at SBVA who left the firm in 2021 to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at portfolio company Blank Corporation, where he led the company's turnaround before returning to SBVA in 2023 as an Investment & Operating Partner. This experience of moving from investor to senior executive at a portfolio company and back to venture capital gives him recent hands-on turnaround and P&L management experience that most VCs lack.
