<p>Greylock continues to staff up on enterprise-focused investment partners. Today, the venture firm is announcing that former VMware VP Jerry Chen is joining Greylock's enterprise investment team as a general partner. In his new role, he will focus on investing in cloud and application infrastructure and new enterprise applications.</p><p>Until December, Chen was the vice president of cloud and application services at virtualization giant VMware (he joined in 2004). He was part of the executive team that scaled the business from 400 to over 15,000 employees and $5 billion in revenue, helping VMware grow from a virtualization software company to cloud and software-focused data center giant.</p><p>Chen was also instrumental in creating Cloud Foundry, the open source platform as a service developed by VMware. Chen was on the product management and marketing teams responsible for VMware's application infrastructure products, including vFabric and the Spring Java framework, as well as its big-data projects. He also held investment roles at Accel Partners and AEA Investors.</p><p>Chen's addition to the firm's team only strengthens the deep bench of enterprise talent Greylock has been able to draw. Last year the firm added former BladeLogic CEO Dev Ittycheria as a venture partner, and Joseph Ansanelli as an investment partner. Greylock has strong bets on recent enterprise companies, including Workday, Palo Alto Networks, ServiceNow, Cloudera, AppDynamics, Pure TStorage, Imperva and many others.</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/25/greylock-deepens-enterprise-bench-adds-vmware-cloud-and-app-vp-jerry-chen-as-general-partner/">Keep reading...</a></p>
