Diligent Robotics hires two notable Cruise alumni to its leadership team


Diligent Robotics hired Cruise's former chief operating officer and former head of AI and robotics into c-suite positions.

Andrea Thomaz, the co-founder and CEO of Diligent Robotics, told TechCrunch it was the right time for the company to make these leadership hires. The startup has deployed about 100 of its Moxi humanoid robots, which assist healthcare facilities with non-patient facing tasks, and is now ready to focus on scale. “We’ve purposely grown a little bit more slowly, I would say, over the last, two or three years, really honing some of the operational efficiencies and getting ready to be in a position to scale more dramatically,” Thomaz said.
