CarbonCure Technologies has appointed Kristal Kaye as Interim CEO following the departure of founder Robert Niven from the chief executive role.
Kaye, formerly the company’s CFO, brings extensive experience in finance and corporate strategy, having already played a key role in CarbonCure’s operations and direction.
Niven, who launched the company in 2012 with a mission to make sustainable concrete both practical and profitable, will continue to support CarbonCure as a member of the Board of Directors.
Under his leadership, CarbonCure pioneered a CO2 mineralization technology that enables concrete producers to reduce cement usage, cut costs, and generate high-quality carbon credits.
“Everyone at CarbonCure feels deep gratitude to Rob for his pioneering carbon utilization innovation for lower carbon concrete and his tireless dedication to CarbonCure over the past 13 years, with many years of research and development before that,” Kaye said.

“Stepping into this interim role, I am eager to carry Rob’s legacy forward, and our entire team remains committed to that mission, our core values and the success of our concrete producer partners around the world.”
The company’s solutions are now used in over 25 countries, with nearly 600,000 metric tons of CO2 permanently mineralized and over 8.8 million truckloads of CarbonCure concrete delivered.
Kaye brings more than 30 years of cross-industry experience — including two decades in executive roles across mining, energy, and retail sectors — and is now tasked with steering the company through its next phase of growth and innovation.
