These appoint­ments are the result of a glob­al search process led by Co-Man­ag­ing Part­ners Kirsten Set­tle and Michael Cunningham.

Priya comes to d‑Matrix hav­ing guid­ed teams from ear­ly con­cept all the way through pro­duc­ti­za­tion, work­ing most recent­ly at Effi­cient Com­put­ers and Astera Labs. Pankaj Shar­ma joins d‑Matrix in Sys­tems Pro­gram Man­age­ment and comes most recent­ly from Sam­baNo­va Sys­tems, where he orches­trat­ed AI/ML engi­neer­ing teams.

These results at d‑Matrix express the Lon­er­gan DNA: long-term part­ner­ships with high growth com­pa­nies in their work to build out world-class lead­er­ship teams.
