Nuro Appoints Mike Mancini as Chief Financial Officer

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuro, Inc. (“Nuro”), a leader in autonomous driving technology, today announced the appointment of Mike Mancini as Chief Financial Officer. Mancini joins Nuro at a key moment as the company prepares for the expected launch of its robotaxi service with Uber and Lucid in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year.

Mancini brings deep financial and operating experience across high-growth hard-tech companies. He has served as Chief Financial Officer at Energy Recovery, Astranis Space Technologies, and Aerion Supersonic. Earlier in his career, he worked in private equity and public markets investing.

“Mike brings the financial discipline, operating judgment, and strategic perspective we need for this next chapter,” said Nuro Co-Founders and Co-CEOs Jiajun Zhu and Dave Ferguson in a joint statement. “As Nuro enters a new phase of growth and commercialization, his experience scaling ambitious technology companies will be invaluable.”

As CFO, Mancini will lead Nuro’s financial strategy, planning, and operations, helping the company scale its technology, strengthen global commercial partnerships, and support long-term growth.

“Nuro is building one of the most important technologies of our time, and I’m excited to join the company at such a pivotal stage,” said Mancini. “Nuro has a clear vision, a strong technical foundation, and a thoughtful approach to commercialization. I look forward to working alongside the team as the company scales responsibly and brings autonomous driving to more people and markets.”

Mancini joins Nuro at a time of growing operational momentum. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the company is preparing for its planned robotaxi launch with Uber and Lucid later this year. Nuro now operates a fleet of nearly 100 robotaxi engineering vehicles, which are Lucid Gravity vehicles integrated with the Nuro Driver™. In April, select Uber employees began testing the service directly in the Uber app. Beyond the robotaxi program, Nuro is also expanding its international footprint, with testing underway in Japan and expansion into Germany.
