Rivian CFO Steps Down Amid Critical R2 Rollout
RIVN sits 35% above its 52-week low of $12.39.
Summary
CFO Claire McDonough is leaving Rivian at the end of October, with VP of Finance Derek Mulvey stepping in as interim. The departure comes as Rivian ramps up deliveries of its lower-priced R2 SUV, a model central to the company's path to profitability. McDonough led the company through its IPO and recent cost-cutting and fundraising efforts, including the $1.2B offering in July. Her exit removes a key financial leader during a period of fragile EV demand and heavy capital needs. The search for a permanent replacement is underway.
