Mozilla has reportedly named Chris Beard as the company's interim CEO after Brendan Eich was asked to step down from the post amid gay Marriage controversy.
According to Cnet, Beard has been working for Mozilla from a long time, and has played some very important roles such as overseeing products, innovation, and marketing.
His work includes the launches of two critical Mozilla products, Firefox for Android, and the Firefox OS mobile operating system, the report added.
Mozilla Chairwoman Mitchell Baker said that Chris has one of the clearest visions of how to take the Mozilla mission and turn it into programs and activities and product ideas, adding that Chris is a strong candidate for CEO.
