Shaun Maguire has left his partner position at GV, a corporate venturing subsidiary of internet and technology conglomerate Alphabet, to reprise the role at venture capital firm Sequoia Capital.
Maguire concentrated on science-oriented deals for GV, investing in companies such as quantum computing technology developer IonQ, space launch technology provider SpinLaunch, geothermal technology producer Dandelion Energy and computer science academy Lambda School.
His new job at Sequoia will involve Maguire performing similar tasks, targeting seed and early-stage companies specialising in quantum physics, chemistry and space technology.
Before joining GV in late 2016, Maguire had co-founded two companies: Escape Dynamics, a space launch aerospace technology developer that is no longer active, and Expanse, the cybersecurity provider formerly known as Qadium, where he still serves as a board member.
“GV has been an amazing ride,” tweeted Maguire. “I have joined Sequoia as a partner on the seed [and] early team, [and I am] excited to help founders build the next generation of transformative companies.”
