Luminar announced on April 16, 2025, the formation of the Luminar Automotive Council (LAC), an advisory team comprising veteran industry leaders. The council includes Dr. Dieter Zetsche, former CEO of Daimler and head of Mercedes-Benz, and Jerome Guillen, former President of Tesla.
Other notable members include Hon. Elaine Chao, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Sir Ralf Speth, former CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, and Joe Hinrichs, former President of Ford. Matthew Simoncini, former CEO and CFO of Lear Corporation, will act as a liaison between the Board and the LAC, with Chris Charlton as Chairman.
The LAC's primary role is to inform Luminar’s growth strategy and advance its mission to enhance auto safety by fostering key relationships with potential customers, OEMs, and manufacturing partners. The council will also advise on major industry trends, market conditions, and the regulatory environment, providing crucial 'voice of the customer' feedback for the adoption of Luminar Halo.
