Rick Nucci


Rick Nucci has joined New York-based FirstMark Capital as a venture partner, the firm announced on its blog today.

Nucci was the co-founder and CTO of Berwyn-based Boomi, and became GM after Boomi was acquired by Dell and Bob Moul departed. Nucci left Dell Boomi in May. FirstMark was the key investor in Boomi.

FirstMark later invested in Moul's latest startup, Philadelphia-based Artisan Mobile. It is also an investor in King of Pussia-based clinical trial payment startup Greenphire.

FirstMark managing director Amish Jani, speaking to TechCrunch, described Nucci as "a cloud product and technology visionary. He’ll be spending a lot of time thinking about new opportunities, and in the meanwhile, he’s a fantastic resource for our SaaS companies to tap into."
