Announcing Steve Teixeira, Mozilla's new Chief Product Officer

calendar August 15, 2022
author Mitchell Baker

I am pleased to share that Steve Teixeira has joined Mozilla as our
Chief Product Officer. During our search for a Chief Product Officer,
Steve stood out to us because of his extensive experience at tech and
internet companies where he played instrumental roles in shaping
products from research, design, security, development, and getting
them out to market.

As Chief Product Officer, Steve will be responsible for leading our
product teams. This will include setting a product vision and
strategy that accelerates the growth and impact of our existing
products and setting the foundation for new product development.  His
product management and technical expertise as well as his leadership
experience are the right fit to lead our product teams into Mozilla's
next chapter. 

"There are few opportunities today to build software that is
unambiguously good for the world while also being loveable for
customers and great for business," said Teixeira. "I see that
potential in Firefox, Pocket, and the rest of the Mozilla product
family. I'm also excited about being a part of the evolution of the
product family that comes from projecting Mozilla's evergreen
principles through a modern lens to solve some of today's most vexing
challenges for people on the internet."

Steve comes to us most recently from Twitter, where he spent eight
months as a Vice President of Product for their Machine Learning and
Data platforms. Prior to that, Steve led Product Management, Design
and Research in Facebook's Infrastructure organization. He also spent
almost 14 years at Microsoft where he was responsible for the Windows
third-party software ecosystems and held leadership roles in Windows
IoT, Visual Studio and the Technical Computing Group. Steve also held
a variety of engineering roles at small and medium-sized companies in
the Valley in spaces like developer tools, endpoint security, mobile
computing, and professional services. 

Steve will report to me and sit on the steering committee.
