Sequoia’s investing empire is shoring up control at one of its startup crown jewels during a critical time for the Silicon Valley firm.

Venture capital firm Sequoia Capital recently added Luciana Lixandru, a partner based in London, to the board of $50 billion payments company Stripe, one of the most valuable holdings in Sequoia’s sprawling portfolio. Separately, Sequoia Heritage, the firm’s separate wealth management business, added a partner, Kevin Kelly, to Stripe’s board.
