Luminar, a leading lidar technology provider for autonomous vehicles, began laying off employees shortly after the abrupt resignation of CEO Austin Russell. The company had already faced difficulties, having cut 30% of its workforce in 2024, impacting 212 employees. Recent restructuring efforts, expected to cost between $4 million and $5 million, are aimed at realigning operations amid financial instability that nearly led to its delisting from the NASDAQ. Austin Russell still serves on the board, with Paul Ricci appointed as the new CEO.
Luminar's restructuring plan, initiated after CEO Austin Russell's resignation, involves workforce reductions as the company grapples with financial difficulties and aims to realign its operations.
Following significant layoffs since early 2024, which saw 30% of its workforce cut, Luminar now focuses on restructuring to navigate its ongoing challenges.
