Mozilla has always believed that technology should serve people \u2014 not the other way around. As we enter a moment of rapid change in how people experience the internet and AI, we\u2019re focused on building products that are private, transparent, and put people in control. Today, we\u2019re excited to take an important step forward in that work by welcoming John Solomon<\/a> as Mozilla\u2019s new Chief Marketing Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solomon joins Mozilla this week and will lead our global marketing and communications teams. His arrival marks the next chapter in strengthening how we tell Mozilla\u2019s story and how we bring our values to life in the products millions of people rely on every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing more than two decades of experience building category-defining brands and leading global marketing teams, Solomon is a veteran brand builder with leadership roles at Therabody, Apple, and Beats by Dre. He was also named one of Forbes\u2019 50 Most Entrepreneurial CMOs for 2025<\/em>. Solomon has a track record of turning products into cultural touchpoints and brands into household names. This experience is essential as Mozilla works to remind hundreds of millions of people around the world that they have real choice<\/em> in the technology they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solomon\u2019s career spans companies that have shaped culture as much as they have shaped markets. At Therabody, he helped redefine and scale the company into a category-leading wellness brand with a mission to help people live healthier, happier lives longer. At Beats, he played a pivotal role in the brand\u2019s global rise and its breakthrough cultural relevance, later joining Apple\u2019s worldwide Marcom organization to launch some of the company\u2019s most iconic hardware, software, and digital services. Earlier in his career, he founded and sold enoVate, a consumer insights and strategy firm based in Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Mozilla, John steps into the role at a moment when trust in technology is eroding and AI is reshaping how people navigate the internet. Our responsibility \u2014 and our opportunity \u2014 is to build products that are private, transparent, and put people in control. Marketing plays a central role in making that mission visible, accessible, and relevant to a global audience. John not only understands the importance of this moment but the impact it will have on future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solomon will lead Mozilla\u2019s global marketing and communications teams, working closely with leaders across the company to build on the strong progress made this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mozilla\u2019s mission has always been to ensure the internet remains open, accessible, and driven by human agency. As we enter a new era shaped by AI and renewed debates over consumer agency, John\u2019s experience \u2014 and his commitment to purpose-driven work \u2014 will help us meet this moment with clarity and ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us in welcoming John Solomon to Mozilla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
