Chris Beard about leaving the position of the head (CEO) of Mozilla Corporation, which he held since 2014 since Brendan Ike. Prior to that, Chris has led the promotion of Firefox since 2004, oversaw marketing at Mozilla, represented the project at trade shows, and led the Mozilla Labs community. The reasons for leaving are cited as a desire to take a step back and start a new chapter in his life, in which he can devote more time to his family, and not get hung up only on work.
Chris will continue to lead until the new CEO takes over and will remain on the board of directors in an advisory role. To search for a new leader, the board of directors intends to involve the recruiting firm Russell Reynolds. If necessary, Mitchell Baker, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mozilla Corporation and leader of the Mozilla Foundation, agreed to interim CEO duties.
