Uber's chief of scooters, bikes to depart

Below is an excerpt from an internal email sent by Holt, and obtained by Axios:

"Making a change this this is never a simple decision and, in my case, doubly so. Uber has been my home for nearly 8.5 years and I've grown immensely both personally and professionally in that time. I'll never forget the rush of energy turning on our business in Washington, D.C. in 2011 for the first time, and immediately seeing the 8 available cars we had on the road (that was a lot at the time!) get requested.

I'll always remember where I was when the first moment it dawned on me that we might be onto something big, when I overheard strangers talking about Uber, showing each other this cool new app they had found. I couldn't have been prouder to see the positive impact on drivers across the country when we launched tipping...

And, most recently, spending time in with the NeMo leads in Paris, riding JUMP bikes around the city and seeing firsthand just how much we're changing the city for the better, and realizing how lucky I was to have the opportunity to change the world not once, but twice, on both rides and mobility."
