Google executive Donald Harrison has resigned from SpaceX's board after more than a decade, the company disclosed on Friday.
According to a report by Reuters on the matter, Harrison notified SpaceX of his decision on November 4, and it took effect immediately. The Elon Musk-led company said the resignation was not due to any disagreement over its operations, policies, or practices.
Harrison, a longtime Google executive, is currently president of Global Partnerships and Corporate Development. Alphabet, Google's parent company, is the largest single institutional holder of SpaceX, according to LSEG data.
Musk said on X that Harrison stepped down because there were too many conflicts of interest with Alphabet. "Don has been a great board member. Very much appreciate his contributions," he added, as per Reuters.
