Interim Mozilla Chief Chris Beard Made Permanent CEO

Mozilla has given acting chief executive Chris Beard the job permanently, bringing an official end to the management crisis that struck the Firefox developer four months ago with the short-lived tenure of Brendan Eich. Chris re-joined Mozilla in April, accepting the role of interim CEO and joining the company’s Board of Directors. Before taking on the interim CEO role, Chris spent close to a year as Executive-in-Residence at the venture capital firm Greylock Partners.
