Tesla Rehires Former PR Chief from Square

teslaYesterday we learned of yet another change in the PR department at Elon Musk’s Tesla: the company has rehired Ricardo Reyes, who served as its PR chief before leaving for a similar position at credit card processing company Square in 2012.

Bloomberg Businessweek broke the news, which comes less than two months after the departure of former Nissan comms/marketing VP Simon Sproule. In case you missed it, Sproule served less than six months at his new gig after joining the Tesla team in March; while Businessweek attributes Sproule’s departure to “struggles he faced trying to hire more staff,” others seem to think he was “poached” by 007 fave Aston Martin after a former colleague became CEO at that company.
