New Enterprise Associates, Inc., added Philip Chopin, a seasoned technology investor who most recently served as a partner at 83North, to its first European-based partner role.

Chopin will be focused on consumer, fintech and enterprise software investments.

NEA has invested in European-based technology and healthcare companies throughout its 45-year history, with a significant increase in activity over the last decade—in fact, about one-third of the firm’s investments in Europe have been made within the last five years.

NEA’s current European portfolio includes more than three dozen companies across eleven countries with concentrated activity in the U.K., Germany, France and Switzerland.

While at 83North (formerly Greylock IL), Chopin led or co-led investments in Critizr, Hungry Panda, Keelvar, Paddle and SellerX and worked closely with many other companies including Exotec, Podimo and Wandelbots. He was previously Senior Director of International at SSENSE, a global online luxury fashion retailer.

Earlier in his career, Chopin worked at the Boston Consulting Group with a primary focus on technology and retail.
