Herman has held senior leadership positions at private and public companies based in Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley and in 2016, joined Bain Capital and is a Managing Director. In his spare time, he actively chairs Silicon Alley Sports, home to the Silicon Alley Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball Invitational, used to raise money for charities.
