Tesla has named two new board members — here’s the full list of company directors (TSLA)

• Tesla has added two new board members, it said Friday: Larry Ellison and Kathleen Thompson-Wilson.
• The new appointments are part of Tesla's $20 million settlement with US regulators in September.
• Last month, Robyn Denholm replaced CEO Elon Musk as chairman of the board.

Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, and Kathleen Thompson-Wilson, an executive at Walgreens-Boots Alliances, have been named to Tesla’s board of directors, the company announced Friday.

The new directorships come as part of Tesla’s $20 million settlement with the top US’ stock market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission, in September following CEO Elon Musk's failed initiative to take the company private. As part of the agreement, Tesla agreed to replace Musk as chairman of the board (it did so with Robyn Denholm in November) and add two new directors.

While Thompson-Wilson sits on the boards of two manufacturing companies — and Denholm spent seven years at Toyota in Australia — Tesla’s board of directors has come under fire for a lack of relevant automotive experience.

Ellison, who bought a 3 million share stake in the company earlier this year, is a "big believer" in Tesla’s mission, the company said in a press release. The philanthropist has turned his sights to green energy after founding Oracle in 1977, with plans for a "next-generation" power grid on the Hawaiian island he bought in 2012.

Here’s a look at Tesla’s full board of directors, the group charged with guiding the company and advocating on behalf of its shareholders:

Larry Ellison

Larry Ellison founded Oracle Corporation in 1977, as one of the first database software companies. Its flagship product debuted in 1979.

In the time since, Ellison — who remains the company’s executive chairman and CTO — has joined other billionaires signed the Giving Pledge, promising to give massive amounts to charitable causes. His gifts have gone to educational and healthcare initiatives.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index, the 74-year-old is currently worth $48.9 million, most of which stems from his 30% ownership of Oracle. He owns Hawaii’s Lanai island, as well as a sailing team, a real-estate company, and a collection of 16th-century Samurai weapons.

On Oracle’s third-quarter earnings call, Ellison went off-script to praise Elon Musk.

"He's landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean,"Ellison said. "And you're saying he doesn't know what he's doing. Well, who else is landing rockets? You ever land a rocket on a robot drone? Who are you?"

Ellison purchased a three-million-share stake of Tesla earlier this year, the company said.

Kathleen Wilson-Thompson

Kathleen Wilson-Thompson, the third woman to join Tesla’s board, is the global head of human resources for Walgreens-Boots Alliance, one of the world’s largest pharmacy chains. Prior to her job there, she spent 17 years at Kellogg.

She also serves on the boards of Ashland Inc, a chemicals company, and Vulcan Materials, a construction company.

"Kathleen brings decades of leadership experience in global human resources management," Tesla said in a press release, adding that she "brings a passion for building and promoting great workplaces."

Robyn M. Denholm

Robyn Denholm, one of the few Tesla directors with automotive experience, has been a director since August 2014 and was appointed to chair the board on November 7. 

After being educated in Australia and spending the first seven years of her career at Toyota in the country, Denholm spent 11 years as a Senior Vice President at Sun Microsystems, the subsidiary of Oracle, according to Tesla's website. 

The 54-year-old currently serves as CFO and head of strategy for Telstra, Australia's largest telecom provider, where she was previously head of operations, according to Bloomberg. The company said she will leave her post at Telstra after a six-month notice period. 

Denholm will also temporarily step down as chair of Tesla's audit committee until her time at Telstra is complete. She also on the board's compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees. 

As part of her incentive package, Denholm will receive an annual cash retainer of $300,000 after leaving Telstra along with 8,000 stock options annually, the company said.
