Special Advisors

Arno Penzias

Arno Penzias has served as a Special Advisor since our inception. Mr. Penzias joined New Enterprise Associates, or NEA, a venture capital firm, in 1997 as a Venture Partner from Bell Labs where he headed its research organization and served as its Chief Scientist. In addition to helping NEA portfolio companies on an as—needed basis, in areas such as technology, strategy, and intellectual property, Arno serves on—and frequently chairs—Technical Advisory Boards for a number of NEA companies. He has received a number of honorary degrees, as well as awards for his contributions to science, R&D management and public service—most notably the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in radio astronomy. A member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, he received a B.S. from City College of New York and a Ph.D. from Columbia University.
