The suit comes ahead of Rivian’s planned IPO next week where the company will seek to raise as much as $9.6 billion in additional investment. In the former case, the company allegedly initially dismissed her advice only to later follow through on it after a male executive raised the same issue. In yet another situation, she tried to raise concerns about the quality of the automaker’s manufacturing process.
In one instance, she allegedly tried to tell the other executives on Rivian’s leadership team that the company had underpriced its vehicles. According to the outlet, Schwab tried to push the company to address numerous concerns while she was there.
