Investor Patricia M. Cloherty receives medal from Vladimir Putin

patricia_cloherty.jpgVeteran VC Patricia M. Cloherty has been awarded Russia's highest honor for non-citizens, the Order of Friendship, by outgoing president and incoming prime minister Vladimir Putin. Cloherty has been helping to make Russia safe for capitalism since her appointment to head the U.S. Russia Investment Fund by Bill Clinton in 1994. That fund is now managed by Delta Private Equity Partners, of which Cloherty is chairman and CEO. Current Delta projects include VideoNext, a suitably Orwellian video surveillance software and services company with offices in Virginia and the Ukraine. Flip that company for a profit, Patricia, and you just might get a statue.
