Golden Ten Data, November 10th: Recently, Roelof Botha, who has served as the head of Sequoia Capital for just over three years, announced his resignation from the position of Senior Steward. He was succeeded by Alfred Lin and Pat Grady, who jointly manage Sequoia Capital. Botha’s sudden resignation has attracted widespread attention in the American investment circle. The latest reports indicate that Botha was ousted by a joint effort of three senior partners. An insider described this upheaval as a “rebellion” against Botha’s domineering management style, saying, “Botha’s IQ is indeed ridiculously high… but the core issue is that he always needs to be seen as the smartest person in the room, and his emotional intelligence doesn’t match his intellect.”
