Tom Zhang has left GV, the corporate venturing unit formerly known as Google Ventures, to join China-based venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures as chief data scientist.
Zhang joined GV, a subsidiary of internet and technology group Alphabet, in 2014 and was an engineering partner at the unit. He had previously worked for nine years at Google as a data analyst.
Founded in 2009, Sinovation Ventures oversees six dollar or renminbi-denominated funds, and generally invests between seed and series B-stage. It closed the latest, a $500m fund, last month, and its exits include Mobike, Meitu and Kamcord.
