A New Journey
Former Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has taken over as the new CEO of cab aggregator Uber. The company was looking for a new chief after Travis Kalanick had to step down under pressure from its biggest investors. Uber announced the new joining in a letter to employees, saying, “We are really fortunate to gain a leader with Dara’s experience, talent and vision.” Khosrowshahi, an Iranian immigrant, led Expedia since 2015 and earlier worked with the media and Internet company IAC. He has a tough task at hand as he is joining the company at a time when it is embroiled in legal battles all over the globe and has drawn flak for its toxic workplace culture.
