Uber woes worsen as president of six months quits
Mr Jones’ exit comes in the wake of a long string of controversies, ranging from allegations of sexual harassment and a toxic work culture to the combative behaviour of chief executive Travis Kalanick.
After Bloomberg published a video last month showing Mr Kalanick berating an Uber driver, he said he would seek “leadership help” and was planning to hire a chief operating officer. The plan was viewed internally as an effective demotion for Mr Jones, who was hired last year as president of ride-sharing and second in command.
