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 the following Andreessen Horowitz portfolio companies: AnyRoad, Orderful, Superhuman, Tandem, and WorkBoard.

From @davidu

Jorge Conde@JorgeCondeBio

The mRNA vaccine for COVID19 was designed in silico in 48hrs; updated versions against mutant strains can be rapidly produced. Computer ‘virus’ was named after its biological counterpart; update-able mRNA ‘antivirus’ looks like its software counterpart. VaaS! (h/t @davidu)

David Ulevitch 🇺🇸@davidu

Right now people in California are thinking about “vaccine tourism.” The rollout is that bad.
