Former Sequoia Captial managing partner Roelof Botha is joining SpaceX’s board of directors, less than a week after the company went public in the largest IPO ever.
SpaceX announced the appointment in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. It said Botha was appointed “to fill the existing vacancy on the Board” and that he will serve until SpaceX’s next annual shareholder meeting.” He will also join the SpaceX board’s audit committee.
Botha “brings extensive public company experience along with a deep audit committee background, having served on the boards and audit committees of numerous public companies,” SpaceX wrote in the filing. He stepped down from his role as Sequoia’s leader late last year.
Botha briefly overlapped with SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk at PayPal in 2000. Botha started at the payments company in March of that year, according to his LinkedIn profile. Musk was pushed out as CEO of PayPal in September 200.
