Although Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has yet to officially accept the chief executive officer position at Uber, Expedia Chairman Barry Diller believes “it is his intention to accept, ” according to an SEC filing.
Just yesterday, it came out that U ber offered the CEO job to Khosrowshahi. In an email to Expedia employees, Diller wrote:
Khosrowshahi has been CEO at Expedia since 2005, when IAC spun it out as its own company. He was a vocal opponent of President Trump’s executive order banning Muslim people from traveling to the U. S., and he more recently criticized Trump’s response to the violence in Charlottesville.
If Khosrowshahi takes the job at Uber, which it sounds like he will, he’s going to be immediately tasked with the lawsuit with Waymo over self-driving technology, hiring a chief operating officer and a chief finance officer, and helping to restore Uber’s public image in light of sexual harassment allegations.
