Google executive Donald Harrison resigns from SpaceX board

Google executive Donald Harrison has resigned from SpaceX’s board after more than a decade, the company disclosed on Friday. His departure removes a longstanding link between the rocket and AI company and one of its major institutional investors.

Harrison notified SpaceX on 4 November and his resignation took effect immediately. SpaceX said it was not prompted by a disagreement over the company’s operations, policies or practices. Harrison is Google’s president of Global Partnerships and Corporate Development; Alphabet is SpaceX’s largest single institutional holder, and Google reported increasing its position to about 555 million shares from 551.2 million.
