Self-driving ride share company, Waymo, has welcomed Steve Fieler as its new CFO.
This comes as Waymo, which is owned by Alphabet, is bringing its robotaxi service into more markets with further plans for 2026.
The company is also entering its next phase, which could include seeking additional outside investment.
“Steve's extensive experience will be instrumental in guiding us through this next chapter,” Waymo said in a blog post.
“He has a remarkable track record of helping companies—from early-stage ventures to global enterprises—scale, transform, and achieve financial success.”
Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana said this was a pivotal moment in the company’s history and thanked former CFO Elisa de Martel for the impact she made over the past three years.
Steve was a key member of Google’s CFO team, where he served as President, Planning, BizOps, Investments, and Investor Relations.
He was also CFO at HP, and Business Finance Office for Google’s Platforms and Ecosystem unit, responsible for products including Android and Chrome.
During the third quarter, Alphabet reported a decline in revenue from US$388 million to US$344 million in its “Other Bets” category, which includes Waymo.
Currently, Waymo offers service in Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Atlanta and Austin with plans to expand into Miami, Washington D.C. and New York City.
