Mozilla Corporation’s own CEO and Chairperson Mitchell Baker is stepping down and handing over the reigns to Mozilla Corp.’s new CEO John Lilly. She will still remain head of the Mozilla Foundation and continue to head the Mozilla Project from there as she posted earlier:
“I will remain an active and integral part of MoCo. I’ve been involved
in shipping Mozilla products since the dawn of time, and have no
intention of distancing myself from our products or MoCo. I’ll remain
both as the Chairman of the Board and as an employee. My focus will
shift towards the kinds of activities described above, but I’ll remain
deeply engaged in MoCo activities. I don’t currently plan to create a
new title. I have plenty of Mozilla titles already: Chairman of the
Mozilla Foundation, Chairman of the Mozilla Corporation, Chief Lizard
Wrangler of the project. More importantly, I hope to provide leadership
in new initiatives because they are worthwhile, separate from any
particular title. We will probably create an Office of the Chairman
with a small set of people to work on these initiatives. I intend to
remain deeply involved with MoCo precisely because I remain focused on
our products and what we can accomplish within the industry.”
