Partner, Portfolio & Operations at Deciens Capital

Biography

Vishal Rana is Partner, Portfolio & Operations at Deciens Capital, where the firm states he is focused on helping portfolio companies with their ongoing growth and on general fund operations. His early career was in financial services, in roles as an insurance broker, credit analyst, equity researcher and derivatives specialist. He then moved into technology, holding executive positions at Medallia and Snapdocs during their growth phases; the firm states that Medallia went public in 2019 before being acquired by Twilio. He holds an M.B.A. from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and a B.S. from the Stern School of Business at NYU, both with honors, and served as a staff sergeant in the US Air Force Reserve. He lives in Sonoma County. Deciens publishes no year for when he joined the firm, names no company as his own investment, and states no board seat for him, so those fields are empty rather than inferred.
