I’m bidding a farewell to a company I deeply admire. While much has been written about @Tesla and @elonmusk, I’d like to share a few virtues this experience has instilled in me…👇👇👇 
1. #Speed: Tesla’s #1 differentiated advantage is its incredible speed. Plaid mode, for sure. The speed is uncomfortable at first, but employees quickly get comfortable with it…
You have to develop your instincts, trust your intuition, and ruthlessly prioritize and tackle the highest ROI work first. I developed a constant bias towards action and found myself getting more done in a day than I used to get done in a week. 🏎💨
2. #Engineering: Tesla is the #1 place undergraduate engineering students want to work. Why?
Because we stand around a circle table, throw a difficult engineering problem on that table, and everyone — from the SVP, to product, to engineers, to interns (who started yesterday) — look at that problem, rollup up their sleeves, and immediately dive into solving it, together…
No hesitation. No politics. Tesla is one of the most collaborative places I’ve ever seen. Furthermore, Tesla has some of the nicest and smartest engineers I’ve ever worked with…
Props to @baglino and all the engineering leaders for creating such a culture and assembling an all-star team that constantly executes and ships game-changing products. 👷♀️👏
3. #Passion: It doesn’t feel like work when you’re surrounded by stunning colleagues who are aligned to a north star mission - like accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy. ⚡️🌎
Special shout-out and thank you to my manager, Rebecca Tinucci — for taking a flyer on me, investing in me along the way, and teaching me an incredible amount about excellent leadership…
She leads by example, brings positivity to everything and everyone she engages with and is one of the hardest working people I know. Thank you, R.
Best job, company, product (@TeslaCharging), and team I’ve ever had. I’m going to miss working with such great colleagues. Thank you, E.
I am taking a short break and am excited about my next endeavor starting in October. Stay tuned…
