Rohan is committed to long-term partnerships with founders and applying a first principles approach to break down complex challenges to build strategies that unlock their business's full potential.
He loves working closely with early-stage founders (especially on GTM), cultivating the Cowboy community, and wearing many different hats as Chief of Staff to keep the Cowboy ranch thriving. Rohan works closely with Aileen on identifying new investment opportunities, taking companies through diligence, and supporting the portfolio. He works with B2B companies broadly, but focuses on cybersecurity, AI/ML infrastructure, and vertical SaaS that targets legacy-driven sectors.
Prior to Cowboy, he worked at Insight Partners, where he partnered with early-stage founders, CROs, and COOs to build scalable GTM strategies and authored thought pieces such as the Sales Periodic Table.
Rohan grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from the University of Southern California. When he's not meeting with founders or the Cowboy community, you'll find him running marathons, scuba diving, and unreliably predicting the next 49ers Super Bowl win (this is our year!).
What is your favorite book?
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It explores the themes of identity, purpose, and how we spend our limited time in life. The book made me rethink how I prioritize my time, both in my personal life and professional life, to focus on what really matters.
What are some unusual jobs you’ve had in the past?
My first job (founder experience??) was in 3rd grade with my friends to make original hand drawn comic books! Each of us had specialized responsibilities such as: artist, creative director, sales, accounting, etc. We eventually got shut down by the school because parents were complaining that their kids were crying that we didn’t have enough supply for each kid.
What’s one thing people are often surprised to learn about you?
My family and I love trivia! I used to watch Jeopardy! every night from ages 5-18, with my brother, parents, and grandparents. I’ll always have a dream to one day compete on the show.
