Petra Stuhmeier Griffith

Petra Griffith launched Wedbush Ventures to foster the next generation of technology companies solving big market problems. Having built many firsts - the first online printing software, first fitness wearable, first native ads - and ushered a bank into the age of technology, Petra understands the strategic and creative mindset necessary to narrow in on a product’s core features for successful market fit. Her past leadership to product, strategy, marketing, and operations teams at established and startup organizations like Netflix, Yahoo!, and 24 Hour Fitness makes Petra a coveted product strategy ally to entrepreneurs ready to scale innovation.

Because Petra lived in LA while working for Bay Area-based companies for the past 17 years, she is committed to a thriving tech ecosystem in Southern California. In her free time, you can find Petra on the slopes, pearling on waves, or enjoying dinners on the deck with her husband, three kids, and two cats.
