SKILLS
ABOUT VIGNESH MARKANDU
I’m an investment professional with 10+ years of experience across energy, frontier technology, and private markets, combining institutional discipline with real-world operating insight.I’ve supported primary and secondary investments across venture, working directly with GPs and LPs on diligence, valuation, structuring, and capital allocation decisions across ~$180M in AUM. My work spans late-stage private transactions, secondary liquidity, pricing analysis, and risk assessment under tight timelines.I’m most effective in the arena of decision-making: pressure-testing assumptions, mapping downside protection, evaluating capital efficiency, and shaping go/no-go recommendations inside investment committees.Earlier in my career at Imperial Oil / ExxonMobil, I worked across logistics, trading, and refinery operations, improving working capital efficiency and unlocking cash tied up in inventory; grounding my investment lens in real-economy operating dynamics.My background in public policy adds a macro and regulatory perspective, particularly relevant in frontier sectors such as AI infrastructure, industrial systems, energy transition, and decentralized networks.I’m currently focused on capital deployment roles across growth equity, secondaries, and frontier industrial technology, where disciplined underwriting and operational literacy intersect.Outside of work, I train Aikido several times a week and spend time studying Tamil history and culture. Both keep me grounded and remind me that discipline and long-term thinking compound over time.
