Deepak Ahuja

Redwood Materials, an EV battery recycling venture founded by J.B. Straubel, has appointed former Tesla CFO Deepak Ahuja as its Chief Financial Officer. Ahuja brings extensive financial leadership experience from Tesla, where he played a key role in its IPO. His decision to join Redwood was driven by his long-standing respect for Straubel and the opportunity to contribute to a company focused on circular economy principles and securing domestic critical mineral supply chains. Redwood Materials has raised significant funding and is expanding its operations, including battery energy storage systems.
