Tesla Vice President Sreela Venkataratnam, an 11-year veteran of the company, said Wednesday in a post on LinkedIn that she would take time off work after stepping down from her role. Venkataratnam said she played a strategic role in factory construction, the ramping up of vehicle manufacturing and the growth of Tesla’s energy business. The EV maker has experienced a wave of high-profile executive exits over the past year, including the two most senior deputies in Musk’s inner circle—his chief financial officer and head of the energy business—who led Tesla through rapid growth in vehicle sales and global expansion.
