SanDisk has found a new leader for its legal department in Eric Whitaker, the former general counsel of Tesla Motors.
Whitaker started work Monday at the flash memory manufacturer. As senior vice president and chief legal officer, he is responsible for leading the legal team and overseeing the licensing department. Whitaker, who stepped down from his post at the electric carmaker in November, said he was drawn to SanDisk by its IP portfolio and the opportunities he sees in the flash memory space.
