Which CEO of Uber succeeded Travis Kalanick in 2017?

Dara Khosrowshahi became Uber’s CEO in 2017, succeeding co-founder Travis Kalanick. Uber’s board selected him after Kalanick resigned as chief executive amid intense scrutiny over the company’s workplace culture, management practices, and regulatory battles.

Before joining Uber, Khosrowshahi was CEO of Expedia from 2005 to 2017. At Expedia, he oversaw substantial international expansion and the growth of a large online travel business. His technology and travel-industry background made him an experienced choice to stabilize Uber and prepare it for its next phase.

Khosrowshahi led Uber through its 2019 initial public offering and later guided the company through the pandemic-era collapse and recovery in transport demand. A common mix-up is Ryan Graves, Uber’s first CEO, or Andrew Chen, who was not Uber’s chief executive. Kalanick remained associated with Uber as a board member for a time, but he no longer held the CEO role after 2017.
