CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Plus (formerly Plus.ai), a global provider of self-driving truck technology, announced that Lynn Miller has joined the company as General Counsel. Miller will serve as a trusted advisor to the Plus management team and Board and lead the company’s legal function.

Before Tesla, Miller was at Apple managing its litigation and regulatory legal affairs. Prior to joining Apple, Miller was a partner at the global law firm, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLC.

“Lynn has deep knowledge about the impact and challenges of the autonomous driving business and technology, having served as in-house counsel at two of the world’s most valuable technology companies. She is an important addition to our executive team as we start to deploy our autonomous trucking technology globally this year and further accelerate our plans to help fleets drive improved safety, efficiency and sustainability in their businesses,” said David Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of Plus.

Lynn Miller said, “It is exciting to join a company that is already starting to deliver on the promise of autonomous trucking technology. Plus’ commercialization strategy, business momentum, and focus on safety are important differentiators in the industry. I look forward to working with David, our Board, and the senior leadership team to continue scaling and growing our global business.”

Miller joins a team of recent senior hires with deep autonomous driving, trucking, and logistics experience at Plus, including:

  • Chuck Joseph, previously a senior executive in Amazon Transportation Services’ Middle Mile team, is Vice President of Strategic Partnerships;
  • Lori Heino-Royer joined from Daimler North America Trucks and serves as Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships;
  • Wiley Deck, former Deputy Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Department of Transportation official, is Vice President of Government Relations and Public Policy; and
  • Jessie Fan, previously head of Investor Relations at e-commerce company Vipshop (NYSE:VIPS), serves as Vice President of Investor Relations.
