Supernal's chief strategy officer Jaeyong Song and chief safety officer Tracy Lamb are no longer with the company, the startup confirmed Friday. Lina Yang, the chief of staff to Suprernal's recently-departed CEO Jaiwon Shin is also out. (Yang had previously served as Supernal's "Head of Intelligent Systems" until April 2025.) "As we transition to new leadership, we have taken the opportunity to strategically review our program's progress and next steps to ensure alignment with our long-term goals," the startup said in a statement to TechCrunch.
The shakeup comes at a time when Supernal has barely gotten off the ground - literally. The first test flight of its technology demonstrator happened earlier this year. And though Supernal has performed subsequent tests, the company was still working toward its first untethered test flight before the pause. The company had planned to launch a commercial service in 2028.
