Tesla IT Executive Appointed to Oversee Sales Operations in a Critical Moment

According to a report by Jinse Finance, sources have revealed that as Tesla’s global sales continue to decline, the company has appointed a relatively low-profile IT executive to take charge of sales operations. The executive, Raj Jegannathan, is a senior leader at Tesla who previously focused mainly on IT and data-related matters. Sources indicate that he has recently assumed management responsibilities for sales. Some insiders believe that his role has replaced that of former North American sales head Troy Jones, who left the company earlier this month after 15 years at Tesla. According to two sources and LinkedIn information, Jegannathan does not have traditional automotive industry sales experience. It is currently unclear whether this personnel change is a temporary arrangement.
