John Krafcik was the CEO of Waymo from 2015 to 2021. Krafcik was the former president of TrueCar and president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. He was named CEO of Google's self-driving car project in September 2015. Krafcik remained CEO after Google separated its self-driving car project and transitioned it into a new company called Waymo, housed under Google's parent company Alphabet Inc.
As CEO, Krafcik led Waymo's efforts to commercialize the company's autonomous technology. These included ride sharing, trucking, urban last-mile solutions and passenger cars. Krafcik also pursued licensing Waymo's technology to vehicle manufacturers and has deployed the largest fleet of self-driving cars.
In April 2021, Krafcik resigned as Waymo CEO to "kick-off new adventures".
