\tMixed reality headset manufacturer Magic Leap announced founder and CEO Rony Abovitz will leave his role at the helm of the company, as it seeks a new head for a shift to the enterprise market.<\/p>\n

In a blog post, Abovitz said the company closed “significant” new funding and is venturing towards \u201ckey strategic enterprise partnerships\u201d.<\/p>\n

Abovitz explained with the company transitioning from consumer headset sales to the business sector his resignation was a \u201cnatural next step\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI discussed this with the board and we have agreed that now is the time to bring in a new CEO who can help us to commercialise our focused plan for spatial computing in enterprise. We have been actively recruiting candidates for this role and I look forward to sharing more soon\u201d, said Abovitz.<\/p>\n

The outgoing chief executive will remain in charge until a replacement is found. He is also in talks over his future role with the company at board-level.<\/p>\n

Abovitz founded Magic Leap in 2011 and since then it has raised more than $2.3 billion in funding from major players including NTT Docomo, Google and Alibaba.<\/p>\n

However, this year has proved turbulent for the company. In March rumours emerged the company was mulling a partial or full sale of the business [1] then a month later it announced staff lay-offs [2].<\/p>\n

Since then it reportedly received an investment of $350 million.<\/p>\n
