Uber CEO resigns under investors' pressure
“I love Uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life I have accepted the investor's request to step aside so that Uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight,” Kalanick said in a statement obtained by the Times.
Kalanick will remain on the tech giant’s board of directors, the Times reported early Wednesday.
The decision to step down comes as the 40-year-old Uber co-founder announced a leave of absence following his mother’s boating death and rampant sexual harassment allegations, New York Times said.
