Former Waymo CFO jumps to self-driving startup Wayve
Elisa de Martel, who left her position as chief financial officer at Alphabet's autonomous vehicle company Waymo in January, will be based out of Silicon Valley.
Elisa de Martel, former CFO of Waymo, has joined self-driving startup Wayve in the same role. Her new employer, Wayve, is preparing to deploy its automated driving technology on robotaxis and passenger vehicles. Max Warburton, who was previously CFO of Wayve and is now a strategic advisor, is leaving the company. De Martel's appointment comes as Wayve transitions from development to a deployment stage, including robotaxi services in London and Tokyo.
With a strong background in tech companies including her tenure as CFO at Carbon and Apple, De Martel will oversee financial strategy and commercial partnerships for Wayve, valued at around $8.5 billion.
