Khobi Brooklyn, the top exec in Tesla's communications department, is out.
Brooklyn was a top lieutenant to VP of global communications Ricardo Reyes, who left the high-profile electric car maker in March.
Brooklyn started out in the agency realm with Lewis PR and Atomic PR before moving to Tesla in 2009. She joined Reyes when he left Tesla for digital payments company Square in 2012 and returned to Tesla with Reyes in 2015.
