About Douglas Leone

Doug Leone ran VC firm Sequoia from 1996 to 2022.

During his tenure, Leone guided Sequoia into tech investments including Medallia, Rackspace, RingCentral, ServiceNow and Nubank.

He inherited the reins from firm founder Don Valentine in the mid-1990s, alongside Michael Moritz.

An Italian immigrant, Leone looks for entrepreneurs from humble, far-flung backgrounds.
