SEE ALSO: Uber's new CEO is Dara Khosrowshahi of ExpediaThe former CEO of Expedia has been described as "fair and nice," which isn't exactly how embattled Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick was known.
Speaking of Kalanick, he offered a statement Tuesday night, saying, "Casting a vote for the next chief executive of Uber was a big moment for me and I couldn’t be happier pass the torch to such an inspiring leader."
Kalanick was forced to resign from his role as CEO of Uber in June after a string of PR nightmares, including the firing of 20 employees for sexual harassment and an incident in which Kalanick was caught berating a driver on tape.
Khosrowshahi got emotional in a note to Expedia employees.
“This has been one of the toughest decisions of my life,” he wrote, according to Recode.
"I have to tell you I am scared," he continued. "I’ve been here at Expedia for so long that I’ve forgotten what life is like outside this place. But the times of greatest learning for me have ben when I’ve been through big changes, or taken on new roles — you have to move out of your comfort zone and develop muscles that you didn’t know had.”
The Uber board also released a statement.
“We’re really fortunate to gain a leader with Dara’s experience, talent and vision,” it said. “The Board and the Executive Leadership Team are confident that Dara is the best person to lead Uber into the future building world-class products, transforming cities, and adding value to the lives of drivers and riders around the world while continuously improving our culture and making Uber the best place to work."
