特斯拉（Tesla）首席財(cái)務(wù)官和“貨幣大師”扎克·柯克霍恩宣布計(jì)劃從該公司離職。他在特斯拉任職13年大獲成功，有人認(rèn)為這番成就最終將使他接任CEO。
柯克霍恩上周提交了辭職信，但周一的監(jiān)管申報(bào)文件中宣布了其離職的消息。他將在特斯拉任職到年底，以輔助他的繼任者。
特斯拉現(xiàn)任首席會(huì)計(jì)官瓦伊巴夫·塔尼婭將接替他的職位。
柯克霍恩在一篇LinkedIn帖子中寫(xiě)道：“我從13年前加入特斯拉，作為公司的一份子，這是一段特殊的經(jīng)歷，這讓我倍感自豪。” “我的職責(zé)將轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橹С执舜芜^(guò)渡。在此我要感謝特斯拉所有優(yōu)秀、熱情和努力的員工。我們?nèi)〉昧嗽S多人認(rèn)為不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的成就。我還要感謝埃隆的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力和樂(lè)觀態(tài)度，這給許多人帶來(lái)了啟發(fā)。”
特斯拉并未解釋柯克霍恩決定離職的原因。但他是少數(shù)幾位學(xué)會(huì)了如何與埃隆·馬斯克溝通和共事的高管之一。今年早些時(shí)候，《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道稱(chēng)，柯克霍恩曾被視為可能接替埃隆·馬斯克擔(dān)任CEO的熱門(mén)人選之一（盡管馬斯克預(yù)計(jì)不會(huì)在短期內(nèi)下臺(tái)）。
這與他四年前進(jìn)入財(cái)務(wù)領(lǐng)域擔(dān)任CFO相比，已經(jīng)不可同日而語(yǔ)。當(dāng)時(shí)馬斯克在一次電話會(huì)議中稱(chēng)，“扎克”將擔(dān)任這個(gè)崗位。一些分析師當(dāng)時(shí)還不清楚馬斯克介紹的人是誰(shuí)。（在負(fù)責(zé)特斯拉的財(cái)務(wù)工作之前，柯克霍恩的工作是分析師。）
柯克霍恩一直在特斯拉幕后，幫助公司成功轉(zhuǎn)型取得了當(dāng)前的成就。柯克霍恩剛擔(dān)任CFO時(shí)，特斯拉的估值為500億美元?，F(xiàn)在其估值為7,730億美元。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Zach Kirkhorn, Tesla’s chief financial officer and “master of coin,” has announced plans to leave the company, ending a successful 13-year run that some thought would result in him taking over as CEO eventually.
Kirkhorn submitted his resignation last week, but the departure was announced Monday in a regulatory filing. He will stay with the company through the end of the year to support his successor.
Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla’s current chief accounting officer, will take over Kirkhorn’s role.
“Being a part of this company is a special experience and I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done together since I joined over 13 years ago,” Kirkhorn wrote in a LinkedIn post. “As I shift my responsibilities to support this transition, I want to thank the talented, passionate, and hard-working employees at Tesla, who have accomplished things many thought not possible. I also want to thank Elon for his leadership and optimism, which has inspired so many people.”
No reason was given for Kirkhorn’s decision. He was, however, one of the few executives who has learned how to communicate with and work alongside Elon Musk. Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported Kirkhorn was being eyed as a possible successor to Elon Musk as CEO (though Musk is not expected to step aside anytime soon).
That’s long way from his introduction to the financial world four years ago as CFO, when Musk said during a call that “Zach” would take the job. Some analysts had no idea who he was talking about at the time. (Prior to heading the company’s finances, he worked as an analyst.)
Kirkhorn has always operated in the background at Tesla, helping to transform the company into its current levels of success. Tesla was valued at $50 billion when he took the CFO job. Today, it’s worth $773 billion.
