Clement Wang
EVP and Co-Head of Venture Building, Chief Product Officer, Head of Mach49 Labs, Mach49 Board Member
Clement has built an impressive career over the past 20 years, proving himself not just as a seasoned entrepreneur but as a thought leader in Silicon Valley's startup scene. Since joining Mach49 in 2015, he has played a vital role in shaping the Venture Building practice and the firm. Today, holding multiple roles including EVP and Co-Head of Venture Building, Chief Product Officer, Head of Mach49 Labs, and Mach49 Board Member, Clement is a key leader and driving force at Mach49.
Clement has always wanted to make a big impact on the world, and his story is one of disruptive growth, resilience, and constant evolution. He kicked off his career working with Global 1000 companies in strategy consulting. He later relocated to Central Asia, advising former-Soviet governments on privatization, helping to bring outside investment into strategic industries. He emerged from these experiences with an appreciation for the massive capacity these institutions have for changing the world -- and an overwhelming cynicism about their ability to get out of their own way to effect these changes.
After moving to Silicon Valley to attend business school, Clement graduated at the dawn of the first dot com boom. He joined a hot startup right out of school, fell in love with entrepreneurship, and has been working with startups ever since. He has founded several companies, experiencing (and learning from) failure, and was also fortunate to have played key roles in building several companies that experienced hypergrowth. At WebEx, he ran the main product line that generated over 80% of the company's total revenue, eventually leading to acquisition by Cisco. Later, he built and ran the initial product and product team for Zuora, a subscription billing and payments company that went public in 2018.
With Clement’s extensive experience helping build more than 20 ventures and creating multiple multibillion-dollar digital platforms and products, his insights have massively contributed to Mach49’s growth. He’s been through several major waves of technological advancement — the internet, mobile computing, the cloud, and now AI — seeing myriad patterns along the way, and has loved applying this knowledge to helping clients and venture teams create their own change in the world. Whether pioneering new products or shaping the future of companies, Clement has proven time and again that he is not just a leader, but a driving force for transformation in the world of business and technology.
Clement holds a BS from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and an MBA from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. Away from work, he spends an inordinate amount of time trying to convince his middle school-aged daughter to listen to any music besides Taylor Swift.
