Rachel Whetstone, The Head of Communications and Policy of Uber, has resigned after working in Uber for 2 years
Rachel Whetstone 's resignation was confirmed by Travis Kalanick, the Chief executive of Uber company, in an all-staff email on Tuesday. No reason has been given for her quitting the job, though it follows months of a disturbance at Uber. Ms. Whetstone joined the Uber company from Google in 2015. In a leaving statement, she said: "I am incredibly proud of the team we have built". "Just as when I left Google, a strong and brilliant woman will be taking my place. I joined Uber because I love the product - and that love is as strong today as it was when I reserved my very first ride six years ago." Jill Hazelbaker, who had deputized for Ms. Whetstone, will take over. Uber would not say if the move would be immediate. Mr. Kalanick emailed staff on Tuesday afternoon to share the news - and with it, attached a picture of himself and Ms. Whetstone on a recent hiking trip. "I am looking forward to having her as an advisor for years to come," he
