Meeker Jumps Ship to Kleiner Perkins
This morning's big news is a departure. Mary Meeker, the so-called "Queen of the Net," is leaving Morgan Stanley to join Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Meeker will join Kleiner Perkins' digital practice, where she will be a partner. She will invest in start-up technology companies and help current KPCB-backed companies grow, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Mary was an early supporter of some of the biggest technology investment winners of the past 20 years,” said John Doerr, a Kleiner Perkins partner, in a statement. “Her advice and support are already highly sought after by entrepreneurs and in this new role, she will be able to spend even more time providing more direct assistance.”
