Ian Wright is a businessman.
Tesla
Ian Wright was the third employee of the Tesla electric car company. In 2009, Tesla co-founder Martin Eberhard was replaced by Elon Musk as CEO of Tesla and Musk claimed to be a co-founder of the company. Eberhard sued the company claiming that Musk was trying to rewrite the company's history by removing mention of the former as a co-founder.
A settlement was reached where Eberhard, Marc Tarpenning, Musk, Wright, and Tesla's first chief technical officer J. B. Straubel were considered co-founders of the company.
