But this was no ordinary man, for he had taken Uber from a localized idea in California to a worldwide phenomenon. We talk of Travis Kalanick, a CEO whose attitude helped launch Uber into a new level. But, in reality, Kalanick's time in Uber was driven by an alpha-male philosophy that led to controversies piling one on top of the other. We'll tell you all about the scandal, or scandals, that got Kalanick out of Uber in this episode of Company Forensics. #startups #Slidebean #Uber 0:00 - Uber CEO scandal - Intro 0:52 - Uber CEO scandal - Kalanick's origins 3:36 - Uber CEO scandal- Joining Uber 4:42 - Uber CEO scandal - His tenure as CEO 7:45 - Uber CEO scandal - A troubled year 9:45 - Uber CEO scandal - The Collapse --- Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-uber-ceo?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Join our Discord: https://youtube.slidebean.com/discord Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Recommended video: Small Business vs. Startup - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k26DOtwPN7s Let us improve your pitch deck: https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-design?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=video-content This video was sponsored by Skillshare.
