My Story
Perry is an attorney, entrepreneur, and board member. Over the past 20+ years Perry has been influential to the growth of businesses. He has held general counsel and executive level roles in Silicon Valley startups he co-founded and grew to multi-billion-dollar valuations as well as publicly traded companies he helped to grow from revenue in the millions of dollars to the billions of dollars. In addition to this, Perry has raised over three-quarters of a billion dollars for companies in venture capital and equity financing transactions. Today, Perry sits on the board of several private companies.
Over the years, Perry has had the opportunity to learn about what makes business work, and how best to apply legal support the business needs in a practical and efficient manner. He works to help companies achieve successful outcomes by assisting them as they navigate the trials and tribulations that come with building and operating a business. He provides business-minded and practical counsel to clients based on experience, an active ear, and an open mind.
Perry started out his legal career as a litigation attorney representing clients in commercial litigation matters at the trial and appellate level. He then moved to his first general counsel role handling a wide range of legal matters for a company with interests in auto dealerships, hotels, oil & gas, and real estate. Perry then joined a San Antonio, Texas technology startup Rackspace Hosting. As one of the first legal hires, he assisted the company in growing from a local startup success to a publicly traded company with billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of team members globally. Perry managed the legal team, public policy, and launched a new division at Rackspace focused on compliance and security offerings. After Rackspace, Perry joined JLT Specialty as a senior executive when the London-based company launched its US-based insurance brokerage and advisory services company. JLT was then acquired by Marsh Global for $5.6bn. Perry then co-founded Medable, Inc., a Silicon Valley-based and venture capital-backed startup providing technology solutions for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industry. Perry has since founded/ co-founded and led several other technology and SaaS companies, some of which he continues to have the opportunity to remain involved with today.
Perry is married to Andrea Sanchez, a fellow entrepreneur and attorney. They met while attending UT-Austin for their undergraduate studies and then attended Baylor Law together. They now have four children ranging in age from 20 to 12. Perry and his family have lived in Dallas and San Antonio, Texas; Mendoza, Argentina; and in the town of Woodside in Silicon Valley. They currently live in Boerne in the Texas Hill Country.
