Travis Kalanick will take a leave of absence from his post as CEO of Uber following his mother’s recent death, he said on Tuesday. In an email provided to HuffPost, Kalanick wrote that he was taking the time off to grieve for his mother and did not indicate when he’d return. “For Uber 2.0 to succeed there is nothing more important than dedicating my time to building out the leadership team,” he wrote. A report about the company’s practices, also made public on Tuesday, suggests that Uber “review and reallocate the responsibilities” Kalanick had. Implementing them will “ensure the mistakes of the past will not be repeated,” an Uber spokeswoman said in a statement.
