I'm still surprised that I never see Robin Chase's name floated. She's a successful serial transportation entrepreneur, and even wrote an op-ed outlining a vision for Uber post-Travis: https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.wired.com/story/what-ubers-next-ceo-needs-to-say/amp https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.wired.com/story/what-ubers-n...
- whbk 9y agoDecent chance she wanted the job (and penned the op-ed with that in mind), but the feeling wasn't mutual.
- basseq 9y agoI would doubt Uber's board wants a "serial entrepreneur". Uber is going to be a $12-15B (revs) company this year, potentially with an impending IPO. That's two orders of magnitude larger than Robin Chase's experience at ZipCar. I would bet they're looking for someone with experience at (growing) companies in the $15-30B range, probably from a logistics-centric industry.
