Changes to the Waze Product/UX Leadership Team
Greetings dear community members,
Earlier this year, we introduced you to our new Chief Product Officer (CPO), Steph Hannon. From day one, Steph brought a re-energized excitement to Waze and was vocal in her admiration and support of you, our dedicated community.
Since joining Waze, Steph has made great efforts to incorporate your feedback into our Product Development, in partnership with Neha, Gai and the rest of our Leadership Team. Jointly, our Waze leadership have helped to refocus our efforts on what would make the biggest impact for you and our many millions of users - like EV, in-car, more real-time data, and safety - and this foundational work has set us up well for the future. We’re so excited to continue making progress with you in these areas!
After making such a deeply felt impact, it’s with a heavy heart that we need to inform you that, due to personal health reasons, Steph will be stepping away from her Chief Product Officer role at Waze. If you’d like to wish Steph well and a speedy recovery, please do so below in the comments. We’ll be sharing your responses with her, and we’re sure she’ll love hearing from you.
As we work to bring on an exceptional new Product leader for Waze, both our broader Product team and our Waze leadership team will continue to take forward the work we have embarked on in 2022. We’re also very excited to share our updated Purpose and Strategy for 2023 with all of you soon.
Thank you for your continued support; without this Community, there could be no Waze. And please join me in thanking Steph and wishing her all the best.
With appreciation,
Hila, on behalf of the Waze Team
