Mozilla has appointed Amy Keating as its Chief Business Officer, a newly created role aimed at executing a "double bottom line" strategy that balances mission-driven technology with commercial profitability. The move completes a five-month executive overhaul focused on pivoting the organization toward open-source artificial intelligence.
The "Double Bottom Line" Mandate
Keating is tasked with managing a portfolio that includes products, companies, investments, and grants. Under the 2026-2028 strategy, Mozilla is targeting 20% year-over-year growth in non-search revenue to reduce its historical dependence on Google search royalties. Success will be measured by a "double bottom line" metric:
- Commercial Performance: Scaling new revenue streams through Mozilla Ventures and commercial AI offerings.
- Mission Impact: Ensuring all portfolio organizations deploy AI that aligns with the Mozilla Manifesto’s principles of human agency and decentralization.
Management Overhaul
Keating’s arrival follows the September 2025 appointment of Raffi Krikorian as Mozilla’s first portfolio-wide Chief Technology Officer. Krikorian, a former executive at Uber and Twitter, leads the technical development of "trustworthy AI" systems intended to serve as open-source alternatives to the closed models of Google and OpenAI.
Together, Keating and Krikorian form a leadership duo intended to bridge the gap between technical research and market viability.
