Robotic Research brings in new finance chief

Autonomous driving technology firm Robotic Research has hired nearly two-decade business and industrial veteran Josh Araujo as chief financial officer.

Araujo joins Robotic Research from OGT Engineering and Construction, an energy industry project consultancy where he was CFO.

He is also a former senior vice president for Jeffries’ industrial investment banking group and mergers-and-acquisitions associate at Lazard.

Clarksburg, Maryland-headquartered Robotic Research said it also hired Don Lefeve as head of corporate affairs that include the company’s functions for government relations and public relations.

Lefeve most recently was president and CEO of the Commercial Vehicle Training Association.
