Dr. Aoki has been with indie since its inception and is renowned as one of the Company’s co-founders, serving as indie’s President, managing the execution of the Company’s engineering plans.

We look forward to his ongoing guidance in his new role as Technical Advisor.”

Mr. Schiller has contributed greatly to the Company over the past seven years, initially serving as indie’s former Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Strategy, and recently as a Strategic Advisor. His leadership and tenacity are exemplified by the instrumental role he played in steering the Company’s 2021 IPO. While continuing to serve indie in his current advisory role, his appointment to indie’s Board of Directors will enable Mr. Schiller to have a broader impact on the Company, working directly alongside fellow board members and executive leadership to help shape key decisions and guide strategic execution.

“I am humbled and honored to join indie’s Board at such a pivotal and exciting time for the Company,” said Tom Schiller. “With a world class team underpinned by key requisite technologies, indie is well positioned to capitalize on intelligent ADAS as it now expands to address adjacent physical AI markets including robotics and humanoids.”

With an impressive track record of success, distinguished career, and a proven history of entrepreneurial leadership, his contributions will be invaluable,” said David Aldrich, chairman of the board of indie. “Tom has demonstrated a strong commitment to driving performance, creating shareholder value, and identifying new opportunities for long-term success. The board and I look forward to leveraging Tom’s unique perspectives and deep industry expertise.”

Mr. Thomas Schiller has served as a Strategic Advisor to indie since November 2024, providing guidance and leadership in strategic planning and M&A.
