Bill Maris Leaves Google
Bill Maris has left Google. “The executive who built Google’s venture capital arm into one of Silicon Valley’s most prolific backers of start-ups has quit, in the latest sign of turnover among the internet group’s longest-standing leaders. Bill Maris, who trained as a neuroscientist and set up Google Ventures in 2009, has left because he wanted to return to a smaller business, though he has yet to decide on his next step, according to one person familiar with his departure.”
