Previously, he was a managing director at Goldman Sachs, CFO of the National Football League, COO of Twitter,[1] and head of Twitter Ventures.[2]

Early life and education[edit]

Anthony Noto is the son of Roseanne Niet (who died in 2015) and George Noto Sr. He has two siblings, George Noto and Thomas Noto. His brother Thomas died in 2018. He has 5 children with his wife, Kristin Noto. Noto graduated from Franklin D. Roosevelt High School in Hyde Park, New York.

Career[edit]

Goldman Sachs and NFL[edit]

Noto joined Goldman Sachs in 1999 and was voted the top analyst by Institutional Investor magazine for research on the Internet industry.[4] Noto led the firm’s communications, media and entertainment research team at Goldman Sachs, and provided strategic direction and resource allocation for the group. He became a managing director in 2003, and a partner in 2004.[5]

On 24 February 2008, Noto took over the job of CFO for the National Football League, a position left vacant since former CFO, Barbara Kaczynski, left in February 2003.[4] Noto held the position until October 2010, but left just prior to the negotiations which led up to the 2011 lockout. He returned to Goldman Sachs in October 2010 as the co-head of Goldman’s global media group.[6] In 2013, Noto helped Goldman score one of the 'biggest tech prizes around' when the company won the role of lead underwriter for Twitter's initial public offering.[7] Noto would work as the main banker dealing with Twitter.[8]

Coatue and Twitter[edit]

In May 2014, Noto announced that he would be leaving Goldman Sachs to join the New York-based hedge fund Coatue Management LLC.[9] However, on 1 July 2014, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo announced that Noto would join Twitter as the company's CFO.[10] The two men built a good relationship the previous year when Noto managed Twitter's account while at Goldman Sachs.[8] In 2014, Noto received total compensation of $73 million.[11]

SoFi[edit]

On January 20, 2018, it was confirmed that Noto was leaving Twitter to become the CEO of SoFi (Social Finance, Inc.).[12][13]

Peter Fenton (born July 1972) is an American venture capitalist based in Silicon Valley. He is a general partner at Benchmark, a venture capital firm. Fenton has steadily worked his way up the Forbes Midas List of the 100 top technology investors, starting at no. 94 in 2007,[1] then rising to no. 62 in 2008[2] and no. 50 in 2009.[3] Fenton was ranked no. 4 when Forbes resumed publishing its Midas List in 2011 and was described as the “most productive venture capitalist on our list.”[4] In 2012, Fenton was ranked no. 5 on the Forbes Midas List[5] and was no. 2 in 2015.[6] He has been a perennial member on the Midas List since 2007.

Twitterrific

Fenton's investing style has been summarized as, “Wait until right before the company’s rising ‘adoption curve’ meets the declining ‘risk curve.’”[9] He served on the board of Twitter[9] and backed Twitter when it had only 25 employees.[4] He invested early in Yelp in 2006 and sits on its board.[9]

Noted for his expertise in open source technology, Fenton has invested in JBoss (acquired by Red Hat), SpringSource (acquired by VMware) and Zimbra,[10] which was later acquired by VMware.[11] The VMware acquisition occurred on the same day that Facebook acquired FriendFeed, another company in Fenton’s portfolio.[9] He led Benchmark's investments in Wily Technology (acquired by CA Technologies), Reactivity (acquired by Cisco), Coremetrics (acquired by IBM), Xensource (acquired by Citrix), Zimbra (acquired by Yahoo!),[5]Minted,[12]Quip (acquired by Salesforce),[13] and Polyvore (acquired by Yahoo).[14]

In addition to Twitter and Yelp, Fenton also serves on the boards of (in alphabetical order) Cockroach Labs, Digits,[15]Docker (formerly DotCloud), Elasticsearch, Engine Yard, Hortonworks, Lithium Technologies, New Relic, Optimizely, Revinate, Zendesk, and Zuora.[7][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] In December 2014, Fenton 'had one of the most unusual days in venture history' when two of his investments, Hortonworks and New Relic, went public the same day.[6] In February 2014, he was awarded the TechCrunch Crunchie for Venture Capitalist of the Year.[23]
