Tesla remaining public

. . .
To help achieve our goals, after discussing this in-depth with the Tesla board of directors and executive staff over the past several weeks, I am excited to announce a number of management changes:

Jerome Guillen has been promoted to President, Automotive, . . .

Kevin Kassekert has been promoted to VP of People and Places, . . .

Chris Lister joined Tesla last year and was key to solving our production problems at the Gigafactory and ramping Model 3 production. He is being promoted to VP, Gigafactory Operations. . . .

Felicia Mayo, Sr. HR Director and head of our Diversity and Inclusion program, has been promoted to VP, reporting to both Kevin and me. . . .

Laurie Shelby, Tesla’s VP, Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) . . . came to Tesla last year after a 25+ year career at Alcoa, where she made tremendous progress in workplace safety. Since joining, she has already overseen a reduction in our employee injury rate, as well as major improvements in our EHS program.

Cindy Nicola, VP of Global Recruiting, . . . has overseen the company’s global recruiting efforts since 2015, bringing on tens of thousands of highly talented people. . . .

Finally, Dave Arnold has been promoted to Sr. Director, Global Communications, overseeing Tesla’s communications team. . . .​

What I like seeing is "promotion" as opposed to hire. Yet those who were hired in the past 3-4 years are on a tight leash to make sure they are not a 'poison pill.'

When by promotion, good. Just I've learned success can also lead to hiring 'poison pills,' people who lost their previous job and come with the attitude they are here to save us ... from what led to our success.
