San Francisco: Uber's two top executives are parting ways with ride-hailing giant after a shaky Initial Public Offering (IPO), as the company undergoes a massive leadership rejig.
Uber's Chief Operating Officer Barney Harford and Chief Marketing Officer Rebecca Messina are stepping down from their positions.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dara Khosrowshahi informing the staffs, wrote in an email on Friday: "Over the years, I've learned that at every critical milestone, it's important to step back and think about how best to organise for the future."
"Given that we're a month past the IPO, now is one of those times," The Verge quoted Khosrowshahi as saying.
"Thank you @barneyh for bringing your whole self to @Uber - your incredibly, ridiculously sharp mind, your passion for the product and all of our teams. Wouldn't be here without you!" Khosrowshahi tweeted on Saturday.
According to Khosrowshahi, the departures were prompted by his decision to more directly control core parts of the business at the ride-hailing company.
