“Troy is an extremely strong technical leader, but what sets him apart is his devotion to ensuring that his employees are treated well. Tesla’s corporate culture can sometimes push employees to work so hard that they burn themselves out, but Troy subscribed to more of a work hard, play hard philosophy. Troy’s team worked hard for him, resulting in many on-time successful product launches: the Model S Universal Mobile Connector and High Power Wall Connector, the Tesla Supercharger, and more, but Troy also gave his team the time to recover from hard pushes. I trusted that on the rare occasions Troy asked me to work over a weekend, he was not doing so lightly and only because it was extremely important. I had the good fortune to have Troy as a mentor and manager for three and a half years, and I was extremely sad to see him go. It was a pleasure working with Troy, and I hope our paths cross again someday.”
