Director since January, 2017 Brad Burnham began his career in information technology with AT&T in 1979. He held a variety of sales, marketing and business development positions there until 1990 when he spun Echo Logic out of Bell Laboratories. He joined AT&T Ventures in 1993, co-founded digital advertising pioneer TACODA in 2001 and then co-founded Union Square Ventures with Fred Wilson in 2003. Union Square Ventures was the first institutional investor in an exceptionally large number of companies that went on to become important players on the Internet – companies like Twitter, Etsy, Zynga and Kickstarter. Brad personally led their investments in Tumblr, Indeed, Meetup, and, more recently Stack Overflow and Duolingo.
