Jon Rehagen
Chief Technology Officer
Finance & Operations


As Chief Information Officer, I strategically oversee the information architecture, technology foundation, and operational backbone that power General Catalyst's evolution from a venture capital firm into a global transformation company. My broad mandate includes all aspects of IT Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Data Governance, Real Estate, and Operational Security across all business lines.
My role is to ensure that General Catalyst's information systems and physical operating environment are secure, resilient, and actively enable the firm's global expansion and investment strategy. I have been instrumental in scaling the operational platform that supports the firm's transformation, efficiently translating macro-level business strategy into secure, stable systems.
With significant tenure, my hands-on experience has been pivotal to the firm's growth. My work established the enduring methodology for operational excellence, built on early contributions like setting up the foundational technology for leaders who went on to form companies such as KAYAK and Datalogix.
I approach my role as a strategic partner, relying on strong, systematic methodologies balanced with the flexibility required in a dynamic venture environment. This leadership style—rooted in my background as an IT consultant and the pragmatic values from my Maine upbringing—prioritizes transparent communication, risk mitigation, and continuous operational improvement.
I hold a degree in Management Information Systems from Newbury College.
When not focused on optimizing global information strategy and operational security, I enjoy road trips, cooking, gardening, and playing soccer with my family.
