According to sources, Rivian’s Charly Mwangi, executive vice president of manufacturing engineering and a former Tesla executive, is leaving the company as part of a larger shakeup that is dividing up parts of the company. “The restructure calls for separating the commercial division, which includes Amazon delivery vans, from the retail part of the company, which manufactures the R1T plug-in pickup truck and R1S sport-utility vehicle,” according to the reports. Frank Klein, the company’s new COO, will now be in charge of “many” senior manufacturing and supply chain staff.
