David Ulevitch is a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz where he focuses on enterprise and SaaS investments. He was previously the founder and CEO of OpenDNS, a cloud-delivered security service that was acquired by Cisco in 2015. His vision and leadership were responsible for creating a cloud-delivered security service that today protects over 85 million people worldwide across more than 10,000 enterprise customers. While at Cisco, David was a senior vice president and general manager of Cisco Security — a $2.4 billion annual revenue business — where he oversaw the company's global security strategy, portfolio, and architecture.

Prior to OpenDNS, David founded EveryDNS, an authoritative DNS service, and grew it into the world's largest free DNS service, which he sold to Dyn (now Oracle) in 2010.

David holds a BA in Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis, which turned out to be way more useful than he expected.

David serves on the board of AnyRoad, Charthop, Orderful, Skydio, Superhuman, Tandem, and WorkBoard.

@saraduit starts off: “I didn’t finish college, haven’t worked in partnerships, and am GenZ but I’ll be teaching you about partnerships today.” —> proceeds to CRUSH her prezzo on partnerships at #Supernode 👏🏻. (1/3) PS could barely tie my shoes at 21, let alone give a keynote https://t.co/8Ro66SQOen

I really dislike the physical dynamic of FaceTiming from my phone and holding my arm up awkwardly for an extended period. Especially with a stranger.

David Ulevitch 🇺🇸@davidu

This is depressing and sad. Real change, real community services, and real public safety and policing is sorely needed in Chicago. https://t.co/BOkWXVVIVV
