Larry Page’s flying car company Pivotal loses its CEO
EDITOR BRIEF
Ken Karklin has stepped down as CEO of Pivotal, the Larry Page-backed eVTOL company he led for more than four years. Board member and aviation executive Mike Ross will serve as interim CEO as the company continues bringing its single-seat Helix personal aircraft to market.
INSIGHTS
The move comes as advanced air mobility companies shift from prototypes to commercialization, where safety, regulation, and manufacturing discipline matter more than hype. Pivotal’s leadership transition adds execution risk, but its lightweight, license-free aircraft strategy remains a distinctive bet on personal electric aviation.
