Former long-time Tesla CFO Deepak Ahuja joins JB Straubel’s Redwood Materials

Deepak Ahuja, who served as Tesla’s chief financial officer for 11 years across two separate stints, is joining Redwood Materials as CFO. The move reunites him with Tesla co-founder and former CTO JB Straubel. The hire comes at a pivotal moment for Redwood, which recently laid off 10% of its workforce and lost several senior executives as it restructures around a fast-growing energy storage business.
