Scale Venture Partners hired Rob Theis, a 25-year tech industry veteran from DCM-Doll Capital Management, where he was a general partner for eight years.

At Scale Venture, he'll be a managing director overseeing investments in technology infrastructure and applications.

Scale has invested together with Theis since 2000, said Kate Mitchell, a managing director at Scale in Foster City.

At DCM, Theis invested in successful companies such as PGP, Roamware, NeoPath (acquired by Cisco) and VanceInfo (NYSE: VIT). As executive vice president for New Era of Networks, Theis grew the company to $200 million in revenue and was instrumental in leading it through a successful initial public offering. Prior to NEON, Rob spent 10 years in executive roles at Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA), where he drove growth in a series of strategic initiatives, including Sun's success in financial services. His previous experience also includes introducing Silicon Graphics' (NASDAQ: SGIC) initial workstations and selling timesharing services for McDonnell Douglas, which is now part of Boeing (NYSE: BA).
