Nancy Wang is a Venture Partner at Felicis, where she backs early-stage founders building in infrastructure, cybersecurity, and AI. As a product and engineering executive, Nancy brings a builder’s mindset to investing: helping startups refine their product-market fit, land their first enterprise customers, and scale production-grade systems. She complements this investor perspective with her operational role as VP and Head of Engineering at 1Password, leading all product engineering teams and spearheading the company’s next-generation initiatives in generative AI security and identity access management, architecting systems for an agent-first future.
Prior to 1Password, Nancy served as Director of Product & Engineering and General Manager at Amazon Web Services, where she owned P&L and led product, engineering, and design for AWS’s $1.5B+ data protection and data security portfolio. Earlier in her career, she built cloud SaaS products at Rubrik, network infrastructure products at Google, and helped launch HealthData.gov for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Nancy extends her cybersecurity expertise by serving on the Cyber-Resilience Advisory Council for Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), advising the C-suite on enterprise security trends and product strategy, and bridging early traction with durable growth for both Fortune 10 companies and startups.
Passionate about expanding access to technical leadership, Nancy founded and serves as board chair of Advancing Women in Tech (AWIT), a global 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has educated over 45,000 learners on Coursera. She holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also serves on the Board of Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (BoTIE).
