GreylockGreylock is the newest prominent venture capital firm to add a female general partner to its investing ranks. The Silicon Valley VC firm announced on Tuesday that it has promoted Sarah Guo to general partner, focusing on enterprise software, security and healthcare investments. “Sarah’s promotion is due to a combination of her intellect, her curiosity as a fast learner, her hustle and her strong commitment to winning,” says longtime general partner Asheem Chandna. (Sarah Tavel, Greylock's first female GP, left to be the first female GP at another top firm, Benchmark, a year ago.) In April, Redpoint added Annie Kadavy as its first female partner; earlier this month, Twitter executive Jess Verrilli returned to Google-backed firm GV as a general partner.
