Who’s Jon Foster, the new CEO of Range Energy

Indeed, Foster played a key role in scaling Zoox’s autonomous and electric vehicle platform, leading its financial and strategic efforts through its acquisition by Amazon.

“Jon is the ideal leader to take Range to the next level,” commented Ali Javidan, Range’s Founder and newly appointed President & Chief Technology Officer. “As Range continues to scale, the company sought a CEO with deep financial and strategic expertise, and Jon’s proven track record in scaling high-growth technology companies is the perfect fit. Getting to team up with Jon again – after working together at Zoox – and having him take the helm of the business that we’ve cultivated to this point is a dream”. Javidan, who founded Range in 2021, will continue to focus on driving technical innovation.
