Tesla: Vice President, Sreela Venkataratnam, resigns, citing that working for Elon Musk's company isn't for the faint of heart.
Tesla's vice president, Sreela Venkataratnam, who has been with the automaker for 11 years, has resigned. She is one of only two female VPs in the company. In a LinkedIn post this week, Venkataratnam announced her departure and praised Tesla. However, in the comments below, she mentioned that working there was "not for the faint of heart."
She described her time at the company as "nothing short of extraordinary" and expressed pride in the company's growth to reach a market cap of $700 billion.
"Leaving as a Vice President (one of only two women VPs in the company) with annual revenues nearing $100 billion, market cap at $700 billion (reaching $1 trillion during the pandemic), and over 1.8 million cars delivered in a year, I am proud of how much we’ve achieved together," Venkataratnam wrote.
Additionally, in response to a comment from Tesla's former CFO Jason Wheeler congratulating her for an "amazing run at a company that wasn’t always easy to work at," Venkataratnam mentioned that working for Tesla is "definitely not for the faint of heart."
