We’re excited to announce that Chang Li is joining Greylock as our Marketing Partner.
Chang will work closely with founders and portfolio companies to help build and advance their marketing strategy, positioning, and messaging. In addition, she will oversee Greylock’s marketing.
An electrical engineer by training, Chang has spent her career at the intersection of deeply technical products and the narratives that bring them to market. Most recently, she led product marketing at Metronome, where she helped define usage-based billing as an emerging category and establish the company’s leadership position. Chang previously oversaw pricing and monetization across HashiCorp’s entire $500M+ ARR portfolio, and led product marketing for emerging product lines.
Chang’s approach to marketing is shaped by her early years as an engineer at Qualcomm and Apple. She thinks deeply about customer segmentation, adoption patterns, and how buyers evaluate new technologies. Over the years, she has developed strong expertise around translating technical capabilities into differentiated positioning and messaging.
At Greylock, we invest at the earliest stages, where clarity matters most. Building a category-defining company requires shaping a clear story: the problem, the differentiated solution, and why it matters. Getting that story right early, when resources are scarce and decisions compound quickly, can be the difference between a fast growing leader and an also-ran.
As we got to know Chang, we were struck by her intellectual curiosity and her ability to quickly assess and learn, and synthesize complexity into simplified and high precision messaging. She embodies our passion at Greylock: partnering with outlier founders to build companies that matter.
Chang’s experience defining categories and developing zero-to-one positioning and messaging will offer crucial company-building value to entrepreneurs and teams as they navigate their earliest decisions.
Please join us in welcoming Chang — you can reach her on email at cli@greylock.com or connect with her on LinkedIn.
