RJ Scaringe

RJ Scaringe founded Rivian in 2009 to redefine the future of transportation through high-performance electric vehicles designed to enhance grid stability and long-term energy efficiency. He has led the company to establish vertically integrated technology platforms, build multi-program manufacturing capabilities, and set forth a strategic vision that will drive profound change in the transportation industry. Today, Rivian’s consumer products include the software-defined R1S, R1T, R2, and Rivian Commercial Van. In the commercial space, Rivian is fulfilling Amazon’s historic order for 100,000 electric delivery vans and recently partnered with Uber to deploy up to 50,000 autonomous robotaxis. In 2025, RJ expanded this vision beyond traditional automotive by founding Mind Robotics, an AI-enabled industrial robotics company building a world model and robot platform capable of performing complex industrial and manufacturing tasks at scale. Earlier in 2025, he co-founded ALSO, an electric mobility company spun out of Rivian to build right-sized vehicles for the autonomous delivery era. Across these organizations, RJ operates from the belief that the only way to build the kind of world our kids’ kids deserve is by building teams obsessed with tackling hard problems and fostering collaboration across industries and society.
