He joined the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Venrock in 2017 and has since struck deals with edtech startups including Make School and Flockjay .
Opendoor has also hired Julie Todaro as its president of homes and services, another newly created role. Todaro, who spent over a decade at Amazon, most recently as its vice president of consumer electronics, will oversee market operations, customer experience and home services.
Finally, Carrie Wheeler, a partner at TPG for 20 years, and Jason Kilar, the founding CEO of Hulu, have joined Opendoor’s board of directors.
