The Mozilla Foundation announced the selection of a new CEO who will be responsible for interim chair of the board and replace Brendan Eich.
The former CEO of Mozilla Brendan Eich will ultimately remained barely two weeks at the head of Mozilla. Indeed, its position towards gay marriage has been put in front of the stage and the man was forced to resign under pressure. On its official blog, Mozilla announced it has appointed an interim successor.
The co-founder of Mozilla Mitchell Baker, co-founder of LinkedIn Reid Hoffman and director of the German magazine Spiegel Online Katharina Borchert has named Chris Beard as CEO ad interim. The man arrived at Mozilla in 2004 to launch version 1.0 of the Firefox browser. It was then marketing director. Previously he worked at HP and Sun Micro systems.
Chris Beard was especially responsible for guiding the activities of community members and developers. He also participated in the launch of Firefox OS at the Mobile World Congress. Mitchell Baker explains that in the long term, the Board will select a new full-time CEO and new members to the board after the departure of former CEO Gary Kovacs Lily and John and Ellen Siminoff, CEO of Shmoop startup . One would imagine that if Chris Beard proven it will retain its current position.
