Former Cisco executive and Openwave CEO brings expertise in global growth, M&A, applied AI, and public board leadership

SEATTLE: Carbon Robotics, a worldwide leader in agriculture AI and robotics, today announced the addition of Don Listwin as Lead Independent Director. The appointment reflects the company’s evolution from an early-stage innovator to a category leader focused on scaling execution.

Listwin brings more than four decades of executive and board experience. He has a strong track record in scaling technology businesses and leading transformative M&A. He held executive leadership roles at Cisco, Openwave Systems, and RapidAI, and served on multiple public company boards. Listwin’s ability to identify macro technology shifts and guide companies from early disruptors to dominant market leaders makes him an ideal fit for Carbon Robotics.

“As we continue to expand our product offerings and geographic reach, Don’s strategic perspective and operational discipline will further strengthen our ability to execute at scale,” said Paul Mikesell, CEO and founder of Carbon Robotics. “Don has been a mentor to me for 20 years, and his insights will be a valuable addition to our team.”

His appointment coincides with growing market demand, as rising input costs and ongoing labor shortages are driving farmers to technologies like Carbon Robotics’ LaserWeeder™ and its newly launched AutoTractor to reduce costs and increase yields. These solutions reflect the company’s mission of delivering real-world AI solutions that make farming profitable and sustainable.

“Carbon Robotics is at a compelling inflection point, expanding its proven technology to have a worldwide impact on growing healthy food and sustaining farming for generations,” said Don Listwin. “The company’s combination of applied AI, deep customer engagement, and commercial traction positions it to lead the agriculture industry into a new era.”
