# Former Tesla Supercharging head to help Uber with EV transition

> Rebecca Tinucci, the former Tesla Senior Director of the Supercharger program, has joined Uber as Global Head of Sustainability. This move aims to support Uber's transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Tinucci will start on September 16, reporting to Uber SVP Andrew Macdonald. She expressed her commitment to advancing Uber’s clean energy efforts, highlighting her experience in the EV sector and her previous achievements at Tesla. Tinucci was previously impacted by layoffs at Tesla in April.

A former leader in the Tesla Supercharging program has officially accepted a new position with Uber, in efforts to help the ride-sharing company shift to electric vehicles (EVs).

Rebecca Tinucci, former Tesla Senior Director of the Supercharger program, has accepted a position as Uber’s Global Head of Sustainability, according to a report from *Bloomberg* on Tuesday. Tinucci plans to start in the role on September 16, reporting to Uber SVP of Mobility Andrew Macdonald.

“After many conversations with great people about my next steps, I was still struggling on where to land and how to be truly impactful,” Tinucci wrote in a post on LinkedIn following the report. “Then, Andrew Macdonald emailed me about joining Uber.”

Tinucci also shared a shoutout to Tesla SVP of Powertrain and Energy Drew Baglino in the post, saying that many of the people at Uber have been similarly focused on advancing sustainability to how he and his team when she was hired in 2018. She also says she’s “all in” on helping Uber advance clean energy efforts, as it sits at the intersection of autonomy, EVs, and robotics set to transform the world over the coming decades.

Tinucci was let go by Tesla in April, alongside much of the Supercharger team and the larger company. Despite hiring back Director of North American Charging,Max de Zegher in May, Tinucci was not among the re-hired employees.

Last year, Tinucci was highlighted by the Time Magazine 100 Climate List as pushing the industry forward through mass adoption of Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS). During her time with the company, she also oversaw the rollout of early V4 Supercharging hardware, the $100 million deal with BP (formerly British Petroleum), and the implementation of much of the Destination Charging program.
