East Ventures, an early stage venture fund focused on Southeast Asia and Japan, has announced the appointment of Melisa Irene as its first female partner. Joining the company in 2015, Melisa Irene started her first role in the firm as an associate and successfully closed multiple deals for the company.
“Irene is an antithesis of how a VC partner arrives at the job. She joined East Ventures right after school without investment experience nor digital industry knowledge […] We welcome Irene as our youngest partner (probably youngest in the region) and look forward to her impact in our ecosystem.”
