Chipotle president Jack Hartung joins Tesla’s board ahead of Tesla Diner launch


Veteran Chipotle executive Jack Hartung was appointed a member of Tesla’s board of directors Thursday, according to a Tesla filing with the SEC.

He has overseen all finance and accounting at Chipotle, as well as supply chain, strategy, and safety and asset protection as the company has grown to over 3,700 restaurants today across the U.S. and globally. While Hartung’s business and financial acumen are likely transferable across industries, his debut on Tesla’s board comes as the company gears up to launch the above-mentioned retro-futuristic diner and charging station in LA.
