Pete Moran anchors DCM’s investments into semiconductor and component companies, including businesses that focus on energy efficiency, and was an early investor into the online interactive gaming sector. Pete has spent more than two decades working in several facets of the Semiconductor Industry, from front line roles focused on IC fabrication at KLA Instruments and Hewlett-Packard/Agilent, through Management Consulting with McKinsey & Co., to managing a business unit at Arrow Electronics.

Prior to joining DCM, Pete helped launch and subsequently led the Computer Products business for Arrow Electronics. Also at Arrow, he led Finance for the Anthem Electronics subsidiary and guided the Systems Integration operation into a profitable, industry-leading performer.

Previously, Pete worked at McKinsey & Co in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Singapore and Munich, where he managed engagements with a wide range of electronics and communications industry clients. He also was McKinsey’s internal practice expert on the Semiconductor industry.

Prior to McKinsey, Pete worked with Hewlett-Packard to improve manufacturing efficiency and control of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors. Before Hewlett-Packard, Pete helped manage the growth of KLA Instruments’ wafer inspection division from infancy to worldwide market leadership.

Pete has advised or served on the board of the MIT/Stanford Venture Lab, the MIT Semiconductor series and the TIE Semiconductor Group.

Born in the Philippines, Pete lived the nomadic childhood of a military son — though his early years were spent in the Mojave Desert, England and Singapore, Pete will tell you New Orleans (where he attended high school) is where he is from.
