Uber selects Expedia CEO to take over for Kalanick

Uber has had their fair share of press, both good and bad. Travis Kalanick, the combative and embattled CEO of ride-hailing giant Uber, resigned June 20, 2017 under pressure from investors at a pivotal time for the company. SAN FRANCISCO -- Uber's CEO search just reached its destination. The ride hailing company Sunday chose a surprise candidate, Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, over much discussed possibilities such as GE chairman Jeffrey Immelt and HPE CEO Meg Whitman, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to USA TODAY. Uber employees will be informed first before the company issues a public statment, the source said.
