Mozilla CEO John Lilly to Step Down
Lilly is moving to Greylock Partners as a venture partner
According to several sources, John Lilly, the well-regarded CEO of Mozilla, is preparing to give up his post at the open-source software nonprofit foundation, which is also a for-profit start-up.
Lilly is moving to Greylock Partners as a venture partner, sources added, although the affable entrepreneur could eventually end up doing a start-up.
Lilly became CEO of Mozilla in early 2008, after serving as its COO. He took over from Mitchell Baker, who remained the company's chairman.
Sources added that a search was on to find Lilly's replacement, in what will be gradual transition that will last many months. Lilly will stay involved at Mozilla and will continue to serve on its board of directors.
