The meteoric rise of Tesla’s new CFO Vaibhav Taneja
New Delhi: Vaibhav Taneja, American electric vehicle maker Tesla’s new chief financial officer, is the latest India-born executive to take up a key leadership role at a marquee global corporation.
On Monday, Tesla named Taneja, an alumnus of Delhi University, after Zachery Kirkhorn, who was famously described as ‘Master of Coin’ by founder Elon Musk, stepped down following a 13-year stint at the company. The 45-year-old’s appointment comes at a time when Tesla is reviving its plans to enter India, where Musk in June said the company was looking to invest “as soon as humanly possible”.
