Stephen Wong, a veteran Goldman Sachs Group Inc. investment banker, will join technology venture capital firm Valley Capital Partners, marking a rare move to the buy-side by one of the US banking giant’s senior Asia bankers.

He will join the Menlo Park, California-based company as a managing partner alongside founder Steve O’Hara.
