Einride appoints former NVIDIA executive to the Board of Directors

Einride announced that Gary Hicok, a former NVIDIA senior executive with more than 25 years of leadership and autonomous technology experience, will be appointed to the Board of Directors. “This appointment underscores Einride’s extensive technical expertise and leadership within autonomous freight and its distinctive go-to-market strategy”, stated the tech company.

At NVIDIA, Gary Hicok led Automotive Hardware and Systems, overseeing the NVIDIA DRIVE platforms, now a cornerstone of autonomous vehicle computing and safety-critical automotive AI worldwide. He previously served as Senior Vice President of the Mobile Business Unit, leading the development of the Tegra processor platform for next-generation mobile and in-vehicle computing.

New addition to Einride’s Board of Directors

“Einride is solving an industry-scale problem the right way. Its platform approach unlocks partnerships, accelerates innovation, and makes electrified and autonomous freight real,” commented Mr. Hicok. “I’ve watched many smart companies struggle with doing everything in house. It doesn’t scale or leverage the expertise of the industry, whereas Einride’s approach does. I believe its approach is built to win.”

“Gary brings deep, hands-on experience scaling autonomous technology through critical partnerships across the automotive and technological ecosystem,” added Robert Falck, Founder and Executive Chairman of Einride. “Working alongside the Einride team, his perspective on building and scaling safety-critical platforms with industry partners will strengthen our ability to deploy autonomy globally. We’re pleased to welcome him to the Board.”

Einride, which has recently announced plans to pursue a public listing on the New York Stock Exchange through a proposed business combination with Legato Merger Corp., has received industry-first regulatory permits for autonomous vehicle operations across the U.S. and Europe.
