Founder Jamie Siminoff is stepping down as head of the company best known for its smart doorbells. He will be replaced by former COO of chat service Discord, Elizabeth Hamren.
Siminoff founded Ring in 2012 and was purchased by Amazon in 2018. The company makes smart doorbells, alarms, and security drones, among other things. It has previously been criticized for being fairly quick to share video images of these doorbells with the police, often outside of legal privacy terms for this type of content.
The CEO is now stepping down as CEO. Siminoff says in a blog post that he’d rather just be an inventor again, so he switched to Amazon for a job as “chief inventor.” Ring will be played by Elizabeth Hamren. The former COO of chat company Discord will lead Ring at Amazon, but also the divisions developing Blink, Amazon Key and Amazon Sidewalk.
