Aicha Evans is the Chief Executive Officer of Zoox, Amazon’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary, and one of the most influential leaders shaping the future of transportation. Since taking the helm in 2019, Evans has guided Zoox through a pivotal transformation—from a stealth technology startup into a fully integrated autonomous mobility company with a bold vision: purpose-built, fully electric robotaxis designed from the ground up.
Before joining Zoox, Evans built an impressive career at Intel, where she spent over two decades leading global strategy, sales, and operations across some of the company’s most complex business units. Her background in scaling advanced technologies, paired with a sharp focus on execution, positioned her uniquely to lead Zoox at a time when autonomy shifted from experimentation to real-world deployment.
Under Evans’ leadership, Zoox has achieved major milestones, including the development of its bidirectional, steering-wheel-free vehicle and the launch of public road testing and early rider programs in U.S. cities. Most notably, Zoox has made Las Vegas a key market for its autonomous service: after years of testing on public roads, the company opened its robotaxi service on the Las Vegas Strip in 2025, offering free rides via its app between designated popular destinations like Resorts World Las Vegas, AREA15, Topgolf, New York-New York, and the Luxor as it works toward paid commercial operations.
As a prominent voice for innovation and inclusive leadership in tech, Aicha Evans continues to redefine how cities may move in the future, proving that autonomous mobility is not just about technology, but about reimagining everyday life.
