It looks like the new CEO of Uber will be a step up for women at the company, though the bar for success is pretty low. The company’s reported pick for chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi, is not a woman, as many had hoped, but the 48-year-old is also apparently not your average Silicon Valley tech bro. For starters, Khosrowshahi doesn’t work in Silicon Valley. “As part of the Seattle/old Internet world, Khosrowshahi comes from outside Silicon Valley and its strangely entitled ways,” writes Fortune’s Adam Lashinsky. And judging by the data, Expedia is out way ahead of Uber when it comes to hiring and retaining women.
