— Investor Patrick Ennis plans to join Madrona Venture Group at the end of May. Ennis worked at Intellectual Ventures for more than a decade, where he served as head of incubation and startup creation at the Seattle-area company. He’s also the CTO of Xinova, a spinout of Intellectual Ventures that uses a large network of inventors to help clients solve problems.

Prior to Intellectual Ventures, Ennis was a managing director at life sciences venture capital firm ARCH Venture Partners, where he shared office space with Madrona. Ennis also has a doctorate in nuclear physics.

“The growth in Seattle has been exciting and Madrona is a big part of that,” he said in a statement. “I’ve worked alongside Tom Alberg, who I count as one of the most important mentors of my career — we invested in Impinj and sat on the board together and have watched the firm grow in stature and influence. I’m excited to work with Madrona’s portfolio companies and to continue to contribute to the Seattle tech ecosystem.”

“Patrick has been both an active investor and at the forefront of technology innovation in his career and will be a great addition to our team,” Matt McIlwain, managing director at Madrona, said in a statement. “As a venture partner he will work with our portfolio companies on their global strategies, leveraging his extensive knowledge of doing business in Asia, as well as technology trends and licensing and will surface new companies for the firm.”
