Who Is Tesla’s new chairman?
Robyn Denholm’s appointment may come as a surprise to some after she ruled herself out to Australian media just a month ago. It’s not clear what convinced her to give up the CFO job at one of Australia’s most prominent companies for the even more high-profile task of chairing Tesla.
Denholm worked previously at Toyota Motor Corp, Sun Microsystems Inc and Juniper Networks Inc, where she was chief financial and operations officer.
“I believe in this company, I believe in its mission and I look forward to helping Elon and the Tesla team achieve sustainable profitability and drive long-term shareholder value,” Denholm said in a statement.
