RJ Scaringe
Founder & CEO
RJ Scaringe founded Rivian in 2009 to help accelerate the world’s shift toward carbon neutral energy and transportation.
Rivian’s nearly $14 billion IPO in 2021 was the largest worldwide since 2014. Rivian’s first consumer products, the R1T and R1S, have received critical acclaim, including the R1T
named MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year for 2022; and both the R1T and R1S earning the highest safety rating of Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for 2023 and 2024.
RJ also led the establishment of Forever by contributing 1% of Rivian’s pre-IPO equity into a foundation. Forever’s philanthropic mission is dedicated to addressing our climate crisis and preserving the critical biodiversity needed for our planet’s long-term survival.
