In June 2017, Kalanick resigned from his position as Uber CEO.
Bloomberg reports that Kalanick’s resignation was to be presented as a graceful departure. Mike Isaac’s Super Pumped (p. 363) reports that Kalanick and investors had agreed to tell the press — falsely! — that Kalanick decided, on his own, to step down.
But a detailed New York Times article revealed the departure as the ousting it actually was. See also Investors asked Kalanick to resign.
