SARAH O'BRIEN JOINS RIVIAN AS CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER

We’re excited to welcome Sarah O'Brien as our Chief Communications Officer.

Sarah joins us from Meta, where she was the Vice President of Executive and Product Communications. Before that Sarah served as VP of Communications at Tesla, where she supported the launch of Model 3, Solar Roof and Tesla’s Semi Truck. Prior to Tesla, she worked at Apple for eight years, leading communications for Apple Watch, in addition to global launches for iPhone, iPad, App Store and the iTunes Music Festival.

At Rivian, Sarah will oversee the company’s communications function, including product, consumer, internal and corporate communications.

Rivian is still in the early chapters of its incredible story, and I’m thrilled to be able to play a role in telling the next chapters. Rivian is delivering on an ambitious mission, not only to create electric vehicles that redefine the ownership experience, but to provide its customers with real ways to get carbon out of transportation and drive real impact. By helping to tell Rivian’s stories, we hope to inspire people from across the world to explore responsibly and preserve our natural world.
