Summary
indie Semiconductor disclosed that President and co-founder Dr. Ichiro Aoki is stepping down from his executive role and board seat effective June 29, 2026, as part of a phased retirement. Dr. Aoki, who has been with the company since inception and managed engineering execution, will transition to a limited Technical Advisor role focused on product roadmap guidance.

The company is filling the board vacancy with Thomas Schiller, who served as indie's CFO and EVP of Strategy from October 2019 to June 2024 and has been a Strategic Advisor since November 2024. Schiller led the company's 2021 IPO and brings extensive corporate finance and M&A experience.
