<p>As part of this round, Ilya Fushman, Partner at Kleiner Perkins, has rejoined Motive’s <a href="https://gomotive.com/company/leadership/">Board of Directors</a>. A long-time believer in the company’s mission and trajectory, Fushman led Motive’s Series A in 2015 and backed the company again in its Series F in 2022.</p>
<p>“Motive has solidified itself as a clear leader in bringing advanced AI to the physical economy,” said Fushman. “The company’s growth trajectory is a testament to the value it delivers to customers. We are proud to continue our partnership as Motive enters its next phase of global scale.”</p>
<p>“We continue to execute against a bold mission to empower the people who run physical operations with AI to make their work safer and more productive,” said Shoaib Makani, CEO and Co-founder of Motive. “This funding allows us to extend our AI leadership, enter new markets, and expand our teams to support the world’s largest and most complex operations.”</p>
