Former Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers partner Trae Vassallo told a jury that the male colleague whose conduct is at the center of a discrimination case against the firm showed up at her New York hotel room one night on a 2011 business trip in his bathrobe asking to come in.
It wasn’t the first time the co-worker had “hit” on her, Vassallo testified, recounting a 2009 incident at a Palo Alto, California, bar where she said then-Kleiner partner Ajit Nazre touched her with his legs under a table.
