Uber: CEO Takes Leave & Board Member Resigns Amid Sexual Harassment Scandal

HeadlineJun 14, 2017

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is taking an indefinite leave of absence amid a scandal over sexual harassment at the Wall Street-backed ride-hailing company. On Tuesday, billionaire David Bonderman also resigned from Uber’s board, after making disparaging comments about women at a board meeting intended to address sexual harassment, saying that if there were more women on the board, “it’s much more likely to be more talking.” This all comes after former Attorney General Eric Holder released his recommendations for addressing sexual harassment at Uber.
