Andreas Gal is the man responsible for Mozilla's big projects - Firefox browser and Firefox OS. He is an expert in JavaScript programming language which plays a major role in Web Programming. He joined Mozilla in 2008, made his way through the organization and became CTO back in April 2014.
Gal is moving out of Mozilla to start his own company. He is in plan for a IOT (Internet Of Things) startup along with two of his Mozilla colleagues.
Previously Brendan Eich, co-founder of Mozilla as well as creator of JavaScript programming language moved out of Mozilla last year(2014). He moved due to political issues caused because of his donation to an anti-gay marriage cause back in 2008. Chris Beard was appointed as CEO after Eich. It was Eich who appointed Gal as CTO.
This is a big hit for Mozilla as they have lost two of their big fishes in two consecutive years. With competitors coming up everyday, tough time ahead for Mozilla.
