Bruce Dines is currently serving as VP/managing director of Technology Investing for Liberty Global Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Fortune 500 company Liberty Global Inc. In that role, he works closely with the CTO and Technology team, and has full responsibility for developing the LGI Technology Investment Portfolio.
Bruce brings over 20 years of technology and telecommunications experience to Liberty Global. Over half of those years have been spent in earlier-stage environments, where Bruce has founded companies and led businesses from concept and model development through the capital formation, revenue generation, and team building phases, ultimately realizing successful exits on three different companies. The other half of his career has been spent in mid-size and large corporations, where he has served as either president or division president, including comCables as president, Northstar Exchange as COO (sold to Construction Software Technologies in 2007), EHPT as president (sold to Ericsson in 2002), and Ericsson Mobile Communications as division president.
Bruce also leads the Office of Innovation within Liberty Global, which drives innovative thinking by applying innovation development principles to Liberty Global’s core operating companies.
Bruce is an avid tennis player, fly-fisher, and skier, and can still beat his 7-year-old son in all three. He is also a really bad golfer. In addition to working on his diminishing skills in these sports, he enjoys pretending to coach his kids in sports that he never played and doesn’t really understand, like lacrosse and hockey.
