Sequoia Capital’s Roelof Botha Joins SpaceX Board
Following a massive $75 billion market debut, SpaceX has added veteran venture capitalist and former PayPal executive Roelof Botha to its board of directors. The appointment, disclosed in a Wednesday SEC filing, positions the long-time Sequoia Capital partner to lead oversight as a member of the company’s audit committee.
Under the current corporate structure, SpaceX non-employee directors serve without cash or equity compensation. Botha will enter into a standard indemnification agreement with the firm, formalizing his oversight duties as the company navigates the public markets following its June 12 entry.
