Mobileye is searching for a new CEO with commercialization and marketing skills after founder Amnon Shashua announced his departure last week. Shashua told employees the company will significantly expand abroad and open R&D centers in the US. The board will hire an external executive search firm. The new CEO will face challenges including Mobileye's independent entry into the robotaxi market with a planned fleet of 17,000 vehicles, requiring partnerships and operational scale. Shashua said the next leader needs an operational profile to increase opportunities, while he focuses on robotics. The company's center of gravity remains in Israel with 3,900 of 4,200 employees, suggesting the CEO, even if non-Israeli, will likely operate from Israel. No target date for Shashua's retirement has been set.
