Sequoia Capital names veteran Doug Leone as chairman

March 31 (Reuters) – Sequoia Capital has named former senior steward Doug Leone as chairman, ​partners at the storied Silicon Valley venture capital firm ‌said in X posts on Tuesday.

Leone, who has been with the firm since 1988, passed on the role of senior steward ​to Roelof Botha in 2022, although he continued to represent ​Sequoia on the boards of its portfolio companies ⁠and remained a general partner in its existing funds.

Leone took over the reins from Valentine ​in 1996 alongside venture capitalist Michael Moritz. Moritz stepped back from ‌the ⁠management role in 2012 due to health reasons, and Leone became the firm’s sole leader.

In November 2025, Roelof Botha stepped down as the managing partner and was succeeded by investing veterans ​Alfred Lin and ​Pat Grady ⁠as co-stewards.
