Tesla announced that CFO Jason Wheeler has decided to leave the company in April to pursue opportunities in public policy. Wheeler will be replaced by Deepak Ahuja, who was Tesla’s first CFO and worked for the company for more than seven years before stepping away in 2015. Deepak will formally take over as CFO in early March, with Jason remaining at Tesla through early April to ensure a smooth transition.
Wheeler led the company to a profitable third quarter last year, led the acquisition of SolarCity, and prepared Tesla to scale for the launch of Model 3.
“Jason has been a key member of Tesla’s leadership team, and he has played an important role in further improving the company’s financial position,” CEO Elon Musk said in a statement. “I want to thank Jason and wish him success as he moves into public policy. Looking ahead, we’re pleased to have Deepak join us again to ensure a seamless transition for Tesla.”
