Uber's absent leadership: The $69 billion startup needs a lot more top executives than just a new CEO
In the aftermath of Travis Kalanick's resignation, Uber is lacking a lot more than just a chief executive.
The world's most valuable private tech startup is missing most of the top executives that would be picking up Kalanick's slack at a normal company. That vacuum includes a chief financial officer, a chief operating officer, and a chief marketing officer.
Some of the vacancies are new positions that the company has finally decided to hire for. Other roles, like a CMO, have remained vacant for years. Some positions, like SVP of engineering and president of ridesharing, have been totally dissolved. Finally, nearly a third of the executives that are in place are new to their roles.
Here's what the leadership vacuum looks like at the top of Uber:
