Melinda Lewison, who served as Jeff Bezos’ representative on the board of Slate Auto, has left the startup’s board. Her departure has raised questions about the Amazon founder’s continued support and involvement with the company.
The timing of Lewison’s exit comes as Bezos is reportedly shifting his attention to robotics endeavors at his new startup, Project Prometheus. No official statement has been released explaining the reason for the board change or whether Bezos intends to remain engaged with Slate Auto.
Industry observers note that the loss of a direct board link to Bezos could signal a reduced role for the high-profile backer just as Slate Auto works to bring its electric vehicles to market. The startup has not yet commented on how it plans to fill the board seat or on the nature of its ongoing relationship with Bezos.
