I am excited to announce that Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, in charge of mobility at Canoo, has joined Rayfe Gaspar-Asaoka and myself on Apex.AI’s Board of Directors, effective March 1, 2019.
Before joining Canoo (formerly Evelozcity), KT was CEO of Opel/GM Europe, CEO of Volkswagen Group China, and CEO and CTO of Continental Automotive Systems. He brings 30 years of world-class automotive industry experience and a wealth of knowledge about strategy, product and business development to Apex.AI.
We have been seeking a board member who shares our vision of building an open ecosystem for autonomous mobility, is an innovator and promoter of new mobility concepts and business models, as well as a veteran of the Automotive industry. “KT is constantly thinking about the evolution of the autonomous vehicle and mobility space, and we are excited to add his industry expertise to the Apex.AI board.“ says Rayfe Gaspar-Asaoka, investor at Canaan and Director on the board of Apex.AI.
With the addition of KT to our Board, we now have a remarkable advisor with skills that complement and enhance the current board’s experience, and who also has the global perspective to help us identify the optimal route for Apex.AI to contribute to and succeed in the new mobility revolution. We have added a preeminent entrepreneur with decades of experience and a passion for emerging urban mobility solutions and autonomous driving technology. This is a tremendous vote of confidence in the future of Apex.AI and the safety-critical software solutions that we bring to the mobility industry.
We are energized and enthusiastic about unlocking new possibilities together as we move forward with KT’s support.
Welcome to the team KT!
