Investing.com -- Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has placed Raj Jegannathan, a senior information technology executive, in charge of its sales team as the electric vehicle maker faces declining sales, according to a report from Reuters, citing sources familiar with the situation.
Jegannathan, who oversees various IT and data functions at Tesla, recently assumed the sales leadership role following the departure of Troy Jones, who was Tesla’s top sales executive in North America. Jones left the company earlier this month after 15 years of service.
Sources indicate that Jegannathan has recently developed a closer working relationship with CEO Elon Musk. According to his LinkedIn profile and people familiar with his background, Jegannathan has no traditional sales experience.
It remains unclear whether Jegannathan’s appointment to the sales role is temporary or permanent.
