BREAKING!: Tesla names Ze'ev Drori as new permanent CEO
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Tesla Motors

Back in August when company founder Martin Eberhard stepped aside as CEO of Tesla Motors, Michael Marks was named as Interim CEO while the company searched for a new permanent leader. That search has apparently now concluded as Ze'ev Drori will step in next Monday as the new CEO. Drori was a founder of a company called Monolithic Memories that invented programmable array logic chips and was later acquired by processor manufacturer AMD. More recently Drori ran Clifford Electronics, a company that makes car security and remote start systems.
Update: The official press release from Tesla Chairman Elon Musk is now available after the jump with more detail on Ze-ev Drori's career.
