An interesting point. What value does he add by remaining? It's a serious question; what are his strengths and weaknesses as a CEO?
A major part of the CEO's job is to be the public face, to maintain the business' reputation, and to handle crises. The results don't look good right now in terms of those requirements, but of course it's also not accurate to rely on a snapshot taken at someone's worst moment.
Also, we all know that many founders don't make good CEOs of large organizations. Those are different skill sets.
- adrenalinelol 10y agoUber's valuation is contingent on it becoming a monopoly or something close to it. That isn't going to happen w/o a pitbull CEO. Travis knows the business better than anyone else @ this point. A threshold of bad PR that is counter to said goal would have to be met, and I don't think this is it.
