Alphabet GV CEO Maris to Leave Venture Capital Arm He Started

Bill Maris, founder and chief executive officer of Alphabet Inc.’s venture capital arm, will leave the company on Friday after building the firm GV into a Silicon Valley powerhouse.

David Krane, a managing partner at the firm formerly known as Google Ventures, will succeed Maris as head of the group, a person familiar with the matter said. Krane, a 17-year veteran of Google, will likely increase the firm’s investments in consumer products and services, said the person, who asked not to be named because the details aren’t public.
