New cross-functional, operational leadership role at Tesla.


The last few months, I've had the opportunity to shift more of my focus and responsibiliies toward a new cross-functional, operational leadership role at Tesla. This opportunity is particularly exciting to me, because it's based out of my hometown community in Northern Nevada at the Gigafactory and includes outreach work. It's been a natural, supplementary progression from when I first started back in 2012.

Within this new scope of responsibilities, I'll be able to leverage all of the lessons learned and acquired institutional knowledge from over the last four years at Tesla to further drive our collective effort toward achieving our mission. Where I can, I'll continue to help lead and support efforts on the digital experience front, particularly while we gear up for Model 3 production.

More to come.

Manny is one of the most hard-working, dedicated and loyal members of the team who embodies the Tesla spirit more than anyone I know. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty more times than I can count.
