CSPA President Inaugural Mixer Featuring Steve Westly November 10, 2010

Nov 10, 6:00pm to 9:00pm

An important new chapter in CSPA's (Chinese Software Professional Associations) long history will occur on 11/10, as the baton for the organization passes to the newly elected president, Henry Wong. As the founder of Diamond TechVentures LLC and a partner of Garage Technology Ventures, Henry brings with him a wealth of experience in technology start-up, venture financing, enterprise sales, and all aspects of business operations - a formidable combination, which makes him well-suited to lead CSPA to the next level of innovation and community leadership.

The event highlights a keynote by Steve Westly, former California State Controller and Managing Partner of The Westly Group, a clean tech-oriented venture capital firm. Bridging his past as a software and Internet pioneer, Steve is expected to highlight evolving trends in the clean tech industry and provide a peek into his investment targets.

Also sharing the stage is Claudia Fan Munce, Managing Director of IBM Venture Capital Group and Vice President of IBM Corporate Strategy. One of only four Asian women, who made it to the top echelon of the venture capital world, Claudia provides a balance and counterpoint to Henry and Steve as we celebrate and embark on the next chapter of CSPA.
