Luminar Bolsters Ranks with Tech Industry Leaders<\/b><\/p>\n

Helping Drive Next Phase of Growth and Efficiency for the Company<\/i><\/p>\n

ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nToday, Luminar (NASDAQ: LAZR), a leading global automotive technology company, announced certain key executive updates that include Alex Fishkin joining as Chief Legal Officer, Michael Southard as Vice President of Engineering, and Marc Losiewicz appointed as Chief Business Officer and General Manager.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re setting Luminar up for success in 2025 with leadership enhancements to help us achieve our two main goals for next year: strong growth and increased efficiency,\u201d said Austin Russell, Luminar Founder and CEO. \u201cLuminar\u2019s leading position to enable global automakers to achieve drastically improved assisted and autonomous capabilities on production vehicles continues to attract top talent in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMichael Southard joins Luminar to lead day to day LiDAR engineering activities for the company, with a focus on realizing greater efficiency and R&D leverage as the company concludes its development work on the Iris family of products, and focuses on Halo and beyond. He joins us from leading the hardware team at Block (formerly Square), and prior to that a leader in VR Hardware at Meta. He also has a long history of leading product development across a wide range of technologies at companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google. Mr. Southard\u2019s experience and leadership come at a key inflection point in Luminar\u2019s trajectory now that its technology is in series production, and customers are clamoring for the upcoming technologies in Luminar\u2019s pipeline.<\/p>\n

\nAlex Fishkin, who previously served as Luminar\u2019s Chief Legal Officer for three years, will return to the company. Mr. Fishkin is an accomplished business and legal executive and former engineer, with broad experience advising both public and private global technology companies. Mr. Fishkin was a professor of Law at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and has held legal leadership positions at technology companies both large and small, spanning all the way back to Google prior to joining Luminar as its first General Counsel. Mr. Fishkin\u2019s experience in operating highly efficient legal teams and advising companies to navigate industry challenges will be strong assets to the company and its growth.<\/p>\n

\nMarc Losiewicz will now serve as Chief Business Officer and General Manager for the company, after more than four years at Luminar. Mr. Losiewicz has previously held various senior roles, including most recently as Chief of Staff and Vice President of Business Development. Prior to Luminar, he was responsible for managing a one billion dollar P&L for the assisted driving platform at ZF, one of the largest automotive Tier 1 manufacturers, and began his career as an engineer. His wealth of experience and knowledge of the automotive and technology industries will be invaluable to helping Luminar achieve its mission.<\/p>\n
