Need another sign that
Tesla is growing into a force to be reckoned with?
Bloomberg reports it has just snagged high-profile communications boss
Simon Sproule from
Renault-
Nissan to become the EV maker's vice president of communications and marketing.
Sproule is an industry veteran, having spent 20 years at Nissan (where he grew to become CEO Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man). In addition, he logged stints at
Ford,
Jaguar (when it was still a Blue Oval-owned brand) and
Microsoft. Despite all that experience, Sproule is still young, at just 45 years of age, as
Bloomberg points out, yet he's held positions in the US, Japan and France over the years.
This is all good news for Tesla, which is in need of a strong spokesman outside of company CEO
Elon Musk. It's been
battling with the state of New Jersey and its governor,
Chris Christie, over direct sales in the Garden State.
