The battery recycling and energy storage company has hired former Tesla finance chief Deepak Ahuja, reuniting him with former Tesla CTO JB Straubel.

Redwood Materials Chief Operating Officer Chris Lister, a former Tesla executive, is retiring after joining the battery recycling company in late 2023. His departure follows recent layoffs of roughly 135 employees (10% of workforce) as the company restructures to focus on its growing energy storage business. Several other executives have also left in recent months.
