Ross continues to advise MuleSoft’s strategy, whilst providing thought leadership on digital and cultural transformation. Ross is also a prolific angel investor, helping founders build the next generation of enterprise software companies and recently launched his own venture capital fund, Dig Ventures. Ross is a regular keynote speaker at technology conferences like WebSummit and Dreamforce. He has been repeatedly featured in WSJ, Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, TechCrunch, CIO.com. Ross was named a Henry Crown Fellow by the Aspen Institute in 2020.
