1052: How Mobileye’s Capital Journey Shaped, Tested, and Advanced Its Future CFO | Moran Shemesh, CFO, Mobileye

By all accounts, when Moran Shemesh joined Mobileye in 2016 as Corporate Controller, the drama of its IPO was behind it. The Israeli autonomous vehicle technology company had gone public two years earlier, and Shemesh saw the opportunity to grow within an innovative tech company. “I was stepping into a fast-growing organization, that was already publicly traded,” she says, “and I understood the responsibility of being a Corporate Controller in a public company that was still in its growth stages.”

For Shemesh, this role was a chance to hone her understanding of what it meant to oversee finance operations in a public company. She recalls, “The finance team was very lean at the time, so I had to wear many hats, which gave me broad exposure to financial reporting and controls.”

However, the calm period soon gave way to a dramatic change. In 2017, Intel acquired Mobileye for $15.3 billion, taking it private. “The acquisition was not just a delisting process,” Shemesh explains. “It also meant adapting to working with a new shareholder that owned 100% of the company, which brought its own set of challenges.”

The experience of transitioning from a public to a private company broadened her perspective. “It was a crash course in managing financial complexity during a major shift in ownership structure,” she says, “and it prepared me for later challenges, including leading Mobileye through its next stage.”

When Intel spun Mobileye back into the public market in 2022, Shemesh was deeply involved. “The spinout required carving out the company from Intel and ensuring we had the systems and processes in place to support a standalone public entity,” she recalls.
