Re: Self-nomination for VC-EDU Co-Chair

I would like to express my enthusiastic support for and second the nomination ofDimitri Zagadulin for the position of co-chair of the VC-EDU. Dimitri has the the rare combination of deep technical  skills and the ability to step back a see the larger strategic picture within which VCs operate.

He would be a strong asset to the VC-EDU leadership team.

Cheers, 

Phil
