Senior Tesla Executive Sreela Venkataratnam quits, says working at Elon Musk's firm is not for the 'faint of heart'

| @indiablooms | Aug 24, 2024, at 11:13 pm

Ending her 11-year journey with Tesla, the company's vice president Sreela Venkataratnam quit the firm recently and said working in the firm was not for the 'faint of heart'.

Announcing the reason behind quitting the company, Sreela said she wanted to spend quality time with family members and reconnect with old friends.

Describing the way the company developed over the years since she joined the firm, she wrote: "I joined as Director of Finance Operations in early 2013, when Tesla was a company with less than $1B in yearly revenues, a market cap of ~$4B and less than 3000 cars delivered in a year. Leaving as a Vice President (one of only two women VPs in the company) with annual revenues soaring close to $100B, market cap to $700B (reaching $1T during the pandemic) and cars delivered in a year to more than 1.8 million, I am proud of how much we’ve achieved together."

She said: "In my strategic role, I had the privilege to contribute to the ramp-up of the Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, the Cybertruck and the construction of several new factories. I was also deeply involved in the growth of our Energy products. Our team played a pivotal role in disrupting multiple industries with innovative solutions, notably transforming the DMV process to fully automate car buying and registration in numerous states."

Sreela Venkataratnam described her journey with Tesla as 'extraordinary'.

While replying to a question by Jason Wheeler, she wrote in the comment section: "It is definitely not for the faint of heart! It was great working with you especially during those tough days! Hope you are doing well!"
