EDITOR BRIEF

Travis Kalanick’s robotics startup Atoms has named a former Uber finance chief as its CFO. The move follows Atoms’ acquisition of Anthony Levandowski’s autonomy startup and reports that Kalanick has sought investment from Uber.

COMMENTARY

Atoms appears to be drawing heavily on Kalanick’s former Uber network as it builds out its leadership and technology base. The pattern suggests a push to combine robotics and autonomy expertise with seasoned operators who know how to scale capital-intensive businesses.
