About Maggie Vo

Maggie Vo, CFA, is a finance expert with more than a decade’s experience in the public markets, analyzing and managing investments across a wide spectrum of assets classes, both traditional and alternative. Born in Vietnam, Maggie Vo began her career in finance at Prudential Vietnam Fund Management and, later, Prudential Property Investment Managers in Singapore, gradually cultivating a rich network across Asia. She focused specifically on private equity real estate, in addition to driving efforts around fundraising, deal prospecting, valuation, and due diligence for the fund. In the U.S., Maggie Vo then accepted the position of Portfolio Manager at Blue Shores Capital, where she managed the boutique hedge fund's flagship Global Long Short Equity strategy. She was responsible for the development of proprietary models and oversight of the fund’s risk-management process, a duty that has fundamentally informed Fuel Venture Capital’s proprietary downside risk-mitigation investment theory. Maggie Vo’s transition from the public markets to the world of venture capital was spurred by the realization that value is continually shifting to actors in early-stage private-market deals. As General Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Fuel Venture Capital, Maggie Vo spearheads due diligence processes that determine prospective investments and capital deployment and steers valuation analyses of existing portfolio companies. Perhaps most importantly, Maggie Vo acts as an instrumental source of guidance for the executives of Fuel portfolio companies as they troubleshoot through the challenges of entrepreneurship in the fast-paced, high-stakes technology sector – from recruiting and sales strategies, to company culture building and corporate governance measures. Maggie Vo is a Chartered Financial Analyst® charterholder. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Centre College with a B.S. in Financial Economics and Mathematics.  Currently she is an active member of the CFA Institute, the CFA Society of South Florida and the CFA Society of Miami, and 100 Women in Finance
