Nettimi, 36, studied Biomechanical Engineering at Stanford University from 2004-2008. He completed his MBA from Harvard Business School in 2014, where he managed the premier institute’s Alpha Fund as a student.
At Viking, Nettimi managed more than $4 billion as the firm’s global technology, media and telecommunications investment leader, according to a Business Standards report. He also led Viking’s investments in Microsoft, Amazon.com, ServiceNow, and Singapore-based Sea Ltd.
Nettimi is part of the Forbes ’30 Under 30 – Finance’ list for the year 2016, for “[i]influencing billions of dollars of stock investments in a $30 billion hedge fund, focusing on the ecommerce and retail sectors.”
After she left Viking Global in 2021, Nettimi was named in another Forbes article about the welcome spate of women launching hedge funds.
Of the thousands of hedge funds, only about 80 are run by women, according to the Kresge Foundation, which tracks the diversity of managers.
