US based cab aggregator Uber has finally found a replacement for Travis Kalanick.In what could be termed as a surprise move, the hunt for Uber's chief executive officer has narrowed down to online travel company's Expedia executive, Dara Khosrowshahi. He has also proven capable of making Expedia the leader in another industry full of change and competition -- online travel. Meg Whitman, chief executive of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, had also been a leading candidate, according to sources close to the process. Expedia is the world’s largest online travel agency by bookings. In a previous statement, Kalanick said he would support the new CEO "to guide Uber into its next phase of growth and ensure its continued success."
