Summary
Roelof Botha joined SpaceX’s board and audit committee on Wednesday, filling an existing vacancy less than a week after the company’s blockbuster public listing.
SpaceX said the former Sequoia Capital managing partner brings extensive public-company and audit-committee experience, and will serve until the next annual shareholder meeting.
Nine directors now sit on the board, including Elon Musk as chairman, COO Gwynne Shotwell, and investors Ira Ehrenpreis, Antonio Gracias, Steve Jurvetson, Luke Nosek and Randy Glein.
Botha stepped down as Sequoia’s leader late last year and briefly overlapped with Musk at PayPal in 2000, adding a long-standing Silicon Valley tie to SpaceX’s newly public governance structure.
