The core of this job: making investments that push the internet in a better direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keating takes on this role at a pivotal moment for Mozilla and for the responsible technology ecosystem. As Mozilla<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/mozilla\/rewiring-mozilla-ai-and-web\/\"> pursues a new portfolio strategy<\/a> centered on building an open, trustworthy alternative to today\u2019s closed and concentrated AI ecosystem, the organization has embraced a <strong>double bottom line economic model<\/strong>: one that measures success through mission impact <em>and<\/em> commercial performance. Delivering on that model requires disciplined business leadership at the highest level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMozilla\u2019s mission has never been more urgent \u2014 but mission alone isn\u2019t enough to bring about the change we want to see in the world,\u201d said <strong>Mark Surman, President of the Mozilla Foundation<\/strong>. \u201cTo build real alternatives in AI and the web, we need to be commercially successful, sustainable, and able to invest at scale. Our double bottom line depends on it. Amy is a proven, visionary business leader who understands how to align values with viable, ambitious business strategy. She will help ensure Mozilla can grow, thrive, and influence the entire marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This role is a return to Mozilla for Keating, who previously was Mozilla Corporation\u2019s Chief Legal Officer. Keating has also served on the Boards of Mozilla Ventures and the Mozilla Foundation. Most recently, Keating held senior leadership roles at <strong>Glean<\/strong> and <strong>Planet Labs<\/strong>, and previously spent nearly a decade across <strong>Google<\/strong> and <strong>Twitter<\/strong>. She returns to Mozilla with 20 years of professional experience advising and operating in technology organizations. In these roles \u2014 and throughout her career \u2014 she has focused on building durable businesses grounded in openness, community, and long-term impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMozilla has always been creative, ambitious, and deeply rooted in community,\u201d said <strong>Amy Keating<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m excited to return at a moment when the organization is bringing its mission and its assets together in new ways \u2014 and to help build the operational and business foundation that allows our teams and portfolio organizations to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Chief Business Officer, Amy brings an investment and growth lens to Mozilla, supporting Mozilla\u2019s portfolio of mission-driven companies and nonprofits, identifying investments in new entities aligned with the organization\u2019s strategy, and helping to strengthen Mozilla\u2019s leadership creating an economic counterbalance to the players now dominating a closed AI ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This work is critical not only to Mozilla\u2019s own sustainability, but to its ability to influence markets and shape the future of AI and the web in the public interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m here to move with speed and clarity,\u201d said Keating, \u201cand to think and act at the scale of our potential across the Mozilla Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Read more <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/mozilla\/rewiring-mozilla-ai-and-web\/\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em> about Mozilla\u2019s next era.
