I just announced internally that after 5 years at Mozilla, and a couple as the CEO, I’ve decided to leave later this year to join Greylock Partners as a venture partner.

I’ll be in my role here at Mozilla until we conclude a successful search for a new CEO, and intend to stay involved and on the Board of Directors.

I’ll have more to say about Mozilla over the next few months as we go through transition — I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done over the last several years, and very optimistic about what the future holds.

推出Firefox瀏覽器的Mozilla公司，最近組織有些變動。任職屆滿兩年的執行長John Lilly今日發信給Mozilla的所有員工，告知即將卸下執行長一職，並計畫轉戰Greylock這家矽谷有名的創投公司。

根據幾個來源顯示，John Lilly這位Mozilla執行長準備要放棄這個開源碼非營利組織的職務。

該來源也表示，Lilly準備轉戰Greylock Partners這家創投公司，雖然這位企業家也有可能會自己跳出來創業。

Lilly從2008年初開始成為Mozilla執行長，之前則是營運長。他是從現任董事長Mitchell Baker手上接下這個棒子。

來源說Mozilla已經開始找Lilly接班人，這是一個很大的轉移，所以將可能會持續幾個月。Lilly會繼續待在Mozilla基金會，也會繼續在董事會中保有席位。
