SAN FRANCISCO: Shervin Pishevar, one of Silicon Valley´s most powerful venture capitalists, has denied claims by several women of sexual harassment, saying he is the victim of an ?organized smear campaign?.
Five women told the Bloomberg News agency that Pishevar sexually assaulted or harassed them while meeting them in a professional context. Some of the alleged events took place as early as 2013. Pishevar allegedly groped a sixth woman, Austin Geidt, an executive at the Uber ride-sharing company.
