Another top-manager is leaving Uber. Chris Saad, the head of Uber’s developer platform, is stepping down after almost two years spent as CIO of the company. The man was openly critical of the forced resignation of Travis Kalanick, company’s former CEO. Saad has not yet decided which company to join or what to do next.
“Travis embodied (and in some cases taught) me these things. There wasn’t a moment or a minuscule detail that he noticed that he didn’t immediately spring into action to help me solve – with that wry smile and enthusiastic glint in his eye. The cost of losing him as Uber’s CEO will be incalculable,” Saad wrote is his Facebook. At the same time Kalanick is being sued by Benchmark, one of the biggest Uber investors, for fraud and breach of contract.
Exodus of high-ranking employees, internal struggles and hostile corporate culture do not add to the positive prospects of Uber Technologies Inc. Next CEO will be announced in September. Depending on his personality and leadership style, the company will or will not enter a period of internal stability.
