Marc Theermann — CEO
It’s an extraordinary moment in history for robotics. After decades of stationary machines transforming factories, we are now witnessing mobile robots walk into everyday life—at school, at work, and soon, at home. I joined Boston Dynamics to pursue a lifelong ambition: bringing robots out of the lab and into the real world. Our mission is to build machines that move with agility, perceive their surroundings, manipulate the world, and, one day, become companions that enrich our daily lives. Since 2021, I have led the commercialization and go-to-market efforts for Boston Dynamics’ portfolio of embodied AI robots—Atlas, our humanoid pioneer; Stretch, our logistics robot; and Spot, our agile mobile platform for industrial inspection. Each is redefining how industries like facilities management, warehouse logistics, and manufacturing operate and evolve. Throughout my career, one theme has guided me: turning innovation into impact. Whether scaling startups, driving cross-functional strategy at Google, or helping Boston Dynamics navigate new frontiers, I am most energized by the intersection of technology, creativity, and human connection. What I enjoy most is: • Developing transformational partnerships that create win-win outcomes • Building bridges between great ideas and real-world value • Finding product–market fit • Guiding teams toward clarity, coordination, and purpose • Crafting creative solutions to tough challenges • Practicing effective, empathetic communication If you share a curiosity for how robots can enhance human potential—or simply want to explore what’s next — I would love to connect. May the force be with you
