This story was written by Tameka Kee.
Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has added indie VC Karim Faris to the ranks of its M&A division, peHUB reports. Faris will focus on funding and acquiring smaller companies in the media and Internet space, but his background also meshes quite nicely with Google's recent forays into energy technology. He sat on the board of Lilliputian Systems, a startup that develops portable fuel cells for electronics, during his four years as a principal at Atlas Venture. Faris also held positions at Level 3 Communications, Intel (NSDQ: INTC), Generation Partners and Morgan Stanley.
