Tesla has nominated JB Straubel, the CEO and founder of e-waste recycler Redwood Materials, to its eight-member board of directors.
Straubel founded his Carson City, Nevada recycling venture while he was still serving as CTO of Tesla in 2017, and left the automaker to focus on it in 2019.
Tesla also named Tom Zhu, who led construction and operations of Tesla's Shanghai factory, as senior vice president for automotive operations.
If elected at the annual meeting on May 16, Straubel would succeed Hiromichi Mizuno, who will not stand for re-election.
Straubel joined Tesla in 2004 and spent 14 years as the chief technology officer. He has been credited with Tesla's battery cell design and also led the construction and concept of Gigafactory Nevada and the production of Model 3.
