Uber's president resigns, adding to the company's turmoil

Uber's president has resigned after just six months on the job, the ride-hailing company confirmed Sunday. Uber didn't provide public comment explaining Jeff Jones' departure. But the tech blog Recode, which first reported his resignation, said Uber Chief Executive Travis Kalanick told employees that Jones decided to resign after Kalanick announced his intention to hire a chief operating officer earlier this month. Jones, a former chief marketing officer at Target Corp., told Recode that his values didn't align with Uber's. "The beliefs and approach to leadership that have guided my career are inconsistent with what I saw and experienced at Uber, and I can no longer continue as president of the ride sharing business," he said in a statement.
