Mozilla <\/a> Corporation announced today that it has chosen long-time chairwoman Mitchell Baker to be CEO, replacing Chris Beard, who announced last August he would be stepping down<\/a> at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Baker represents a logical choice to lead the company. At a time of great turmoil in the world at large, she brings the stability of someone who has been with Mozilla Corporation since 2003. Writing in a company blog post<\/a>, she certainly recognized the challenges ahead, navigating the current economic uncertainty and the competitive challenges the company faces with its flagship Firefox browser.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a time of challenge on many levels, there\u2019s no question about that. Mozilla\u2019s flagship product remains excellent, but the competition is stiff. The increasing vertical integration of internet experience remains a deep challenge. It\u2019s also a time of need, and of opportunity. Increasingly, numbers of people recognize that the internet needs attention,\u201d Baker wrote.<\/p>\n

Baker has been acting as interim CEO since December when Beard officially left the company. In a blog post<\/a> from the board announcing Baker\u2019s official new title, they certainly recognized that it would take someone with her unique combination of skills and experience to guide the company through this next phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitchell\u2019s deep understanding of Mozilla\u2019s existing businesses gives her the ability to provide direction and support to drive this important work forward,\u201d they wrote. Adding, \u201cAnd her leadership style grounded in openness and honesty is helping the organization navigate through the uncertainty that COVID-19 has created for Mozillians at work and at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mozilla Corporation was founded in 1998 and is best known for its flagship, open-source Firefox browser. The company faces stiff competition in the browser market from Google, Apple and Microsoft.<\/p>\n
