Uber chose the new head of the company
Uber's board of directors chose the new head of the company. About this The New York Times told the sources familiar with the discussion.
According to them, Uber will be headed by the Director General of the Expeddia online tour operator Dara Khosrovshahi. The Board of Directors was also considered by the ex-head of General Electric Jeffrey Immel and the head of NWlett Packard Enterprise Meg Uitman.
Former Uber, Travis Kalanik, resigned in June 2017 due to numerous scandals in the company. In particular, we are talking about the lawsuit of Waymo in Alphabet and the situation with the Greyball system, which allowed Uber to “deceive” civil servants who tried to use the taxi order.
As the Information wrote , Kalanik planned to return to his position and asked Uber employees whether they were ready to support him in a “potential battle with shareholders”. Before that, he hired Teneo as a “CEO consultant” to improve his image.
In Uber, information about the return of Kalanik was rejected , explaining that "it was time for the new leader and the right leader for the next phase of the company's development."
