Uber’s top executive for communications has left the beleaguered company, continuing a wave of turnover in the highest ranks. Rachel Whetstone’s departure as head of communications was announced in an email Tuesday to employees from CEO Travis Kalanick. In 2015, Whetstone left Google to become the ride-hailing app’s senior vice president of policy and communications. “I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up,” Kalanick wrote after video emerged in February showing the CEO berating an Uber driver. There have been a series of departures from the ranks of Uber executives in recent months as well.
