Uber, which has faced a tough last two weeks including allegations of sexual harassment, a lawsuit from Alphabet, and executive departures, is seeking a COO to assist CEO Travis Kalanick in running the company. The Information and Recode first reported the efforts before the company made a public announcement:
This morning I told the Uber team that we're actively looking for a Chief Operating Officer: a peer who can partner with me to write the next chapter in our journey. —Travis Kalanick
