Elon Musk’s Tesla just lost another longtime veteran executive, continuing the spree of resignations at the $700 billion electric-vehicle maker this year.
Sreela Venkataratnam posted on LinkedIn that she was leaving after 11 years to take a break and spend “quality time with family, reconnect with old friends, and focus on personal well-being.” Venkataratnam’s exit is the latest in a line of at least six other high-profile executives who left this year, amid massive layoffs and the axing of nearly the entire Tesla Supercharger team. During the month of April, three executives quit in the space of two weeks, including longtime vice president of investor relations Martin Viecha; senior vice president Drew Baglino; and Rohan Patel, vice president of public policy and business development.
