Robyn Denholm has quietly chaired Tesla since 2018.
The Australian executive's role is now being thrust into the spotlight.
Denholm's leadership of the Tesla board was criticized in a legal ruling in Delaware last month.

Not every CEO in charge of a publicly traded stock market giant gets to act like Elon Musk. The world's richest man may have Robyn Denholm to thank for that.
