Despite reports and rumors of former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick trying to make its way back to the company, Uber co-founder and board member Garrett Camp says otherwise, Recode reports.
“Our CEO search is the board’s top priority, ” Camp said in an email this morning, which was obtained by Recode. “It’s time for a new chapter and the right leader for our next phase of growth. Despite rumors I’ m sure you’ ve seen in the news, Travis is not returning as CEO. we are committed to hiring a new world class CEO to lead Uber.”
