Managing Director, Cross Creek Advisors

Karey Barker has led investments in a variety of industries, including digital marketplaces (IronPlanet, Ticketfly), consumer internet
(Angie’s List, Scopely) health care services (Bravo Health, Assurex Health, Bright Health, Accolade), life sciences (Fluidigm, NxStage) marketing and advertising (BounceX, TubeMogul), and enterprise software and services (Telogis, DocuSign, Drillinginfo, Simplus,
Pindrop, Dataminr).

Karey developed the concept for Cross Creek while working as a portfolio manager at Wasatch Advisors, where she spent over 15 years managing small-cap growth stocks. Over time, she saw a need to develop expertise in venture capital, to better understand emerging themes and competition. In 2006, she founded Cross Creek within Wasatch Advisors to address that need and went on to lead the Cross Creek team through its transition to an independent firm in 2012. She also served as a member of the Wasatch Advisors Board of Directors for 17 years. Independent of Cross Creek, she serves on the boards of directors for MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE:MD) and ARUP Laboratories.
