Martin worked as a VP of IR at Tesla from 2017 until June 2024. He joined right at the beginning of Model 3 “production hell” When Tesla’s share price hovered at around $20 (later falling to $10) and viability of the company was far from certain.
Over this 7-year period, Tesla has become the largest EV maker in the world, with sustainably positive free cash flow and GAAP net income of ~$12B annually. Tesla IR became the #1 ranked IR program in the autos industry, in every category based in Institutional Investor survey. Retail shareholder base has grown ~10x to become the largest retail base of any company globally.
After a 7-year roller coaster, Martin joined his first board and became an advisor on all IR related themes, covering investor communication, institutional and retail shareholder engagement, etc. Before joining Tesla, Martin worked as an Automotive analyst on the sell-side for Redburn-Atlantic in London for seven years.
