Myriad Venture Partners has powered up with expertise, expanding its executive advisory board to more than 30 C-suite leaders from Fortune 500 and global enterprises, reinforcing its connection to companies deploying enterprise artificial intelligence at scale.

The early-stage venture firm, which invests in enterprise artificial intelligence, enterprise B2B software and industrial transformation, said in an announcement the new members include executives from GSK, Mastercard, Harley-Davidson, Meta and Oracle.

Newly named board members include Greg Ulrich, Chief AI & Data Officer at Mastercard; Dan Roth, Chief AI Scientist of Oracle; Kim Branson, Senior VP, Global Head of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at GSK; and Raj Velmurugan, Chief Information Officer at Harley-Davidson, among others. "Our Executive Advisory Board is not a traditional advisory group – it is an extension of our operating model," said Chris Fisher, Founder and Managing Partner of Myriad Venture Partners.

Myriad said the Executive Advisory Board supports sourcing, technical diligence, product feedback, enterprise introductions and proof-of-concept designs, and that members engage directly with founders on product design and deployments.

The firm cited portfolio metrics including 900+ commercial introductions, 70 proof-of-concept engagements that produced 24 commercial contracts, and 119 Fortune 500 companies now using technology from Myriad-backed startups.

The announcement also highlighted fundraising and recent deals: portfolio companies have raised $932 million since inception, including $223 million in 2025; recent investments cited include CVector's $5 million seed round and OpenHands' $18.8 million Series A.
