WASHINGTON: Ridesharing giant Uber took another hit with the departure of its president, Jeff Jones, after just six months, US media reported Sunday. Jones’ departure comes after a series of difficulties at Uber, Recode and The Wall Street Journal reported. According to Recode, Jones had voiced dissatisfaction with the company’s strategies. San Francisco-based Uber has also been rocked by disclosures about a culture of sexism and its covert use of law enforcement-evading software. Uber, which is not publicly traded, is worth about $70 billion and operates in dozens of countries.
