Uber has hired Rebecca Tinucci, the former head of Tesla’s Supercharger team.
Tinucci has been taken-on by the ride-hailing company as their new global head of sustainability and will reportedly oversee Uber’s transition to a zero-emission platform.
She will also aid Uber in working towards their key goal of a fully-electrified fleet by 2040, which she described as “an audacious, important challenge to attack,”
The former Tesla employee announced the new job role in a LinkedIn post and said: “Autonomy, electric vehicles, and robotics will reshape our world in the next 20 years and usher in an unprecedented opportunity for a more sustainable future. And Uber sits at the intersection of it all,”
Ending the post with an optimistic confirmation of her role: “So yeah, I’m all in.”
