John Doerr’s name is synonymous with venture-capital investing, due to his critical early backing of Google, Amazon.com,Twitter, and other storied Silicon Valley start-ups.  Doerr, 66, has worked his magic, financial and otherwise, for 38 years from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the Menlo Park, Calif.–based VC firm he now chairs.  Before KPCB, however, Doerr did time at Intel (INTC) as an engineer and executive, where he encountered the management theories of Andy Grove, the semiconductor company’s co-founder and CEO.
