Inari co-founder Ignacio Martinez is named interim CEO
Inari named co-founder and board chair Ignacio Martinez interim CEO, effective May 31, 2025, replacing Ponsi Trivisvavet who stepped down for health reasons after seven years. Martinez is a general partner at Flagship Pioneering, the founding backer; the board began searching for a permanent chief.
- Trivisvavet led Inari for seven years; he cited health reasons for stepping down, saying the company's strength gave him peace of mind.
- Martinez as board chair moved into interim CEO role during the search; his Flagship Pioneering position provides continuity and investor perspective.
- Board initiated permanent CEO search, suggesting this was a planned transition rather than an emergency replacement.
