Tesla appoints Indian-origin Vaibhav Taneja as CFO

Vaibhav Taneja has been appointed as Tesla's new Chief Financial Officer. He is succeeding Zachary Kirkhorn who has decided to step down from the position, as per the company filing.

   

Indian-origin Taneja is 45 and has been given an additional role of a CFO along with his present role as Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) of the US-based electric car major.   

 

Kirkhorn was associated with Tesla for 13 years. "Tesla thanks Mr Kirkhorn for his significant contributions. Mr Kirkhorn will continue to serve Tesla through the end of the year to support a seamless transition," it said.

 

"This morning Tesla announced that I've stepped down from my role as Chief Financial Officer, succeeded by our Chief Accounting Officer, Vaibhav Taneja," Kirkhorn said in a LinkedIn post.

 

"Being a part of this company is a special experience, and I'm extremely proud of the work we've done together since I joined over 13 years ago. As I shift my responsibilities to support this transition, I want to thank the talented, passionate, and hard-working employees at Tesla, who have accomplished things many thought (were) not possible. I also want to thank Elon for his leadership and optimism, which has inspired so many people," he said.

 

Taneja has been associated with the company since March 2019 and as the Corporate Controller since May 2018. He also held the position of the Assistant Corporate Controller between February 2017 and May 2018, and from March 2016, served in various finance and accounting roles at SolarCity Corporation, a US-based solar panel developer acquired by Tesla in 2016.

 

Prior to this, Taneja served PricewaterhouseCoopers in both India and the US between July 1999 and March 2016, the company filing said.
