Accel Adds Enterprise Data Storage And Infrastructure Exec Kirk Bowman As Venture Partner

Accel Partners has a long, and well-known history of making solid investment bets on popular consumer facing web and mobile platforms, including Facebook, Groupon, Etsy, Trulia and Angry Birds. But the firm is also making significant movements in the enterprise cloud storage and infrastructure space with investments in Cloudera, Couchbase, Nimble, Springsource, Atlassian, and DropBox. The fact is much of the core infrastructure that is provided by many of these enterprise companies provides a foundation for consumer facing companies. Today, Accel is adding a seasoned executive in the infrastructure and storage industries with Kirk Bowman joining as a venture partner in the company's Silicon Valley office.
