Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi sits down with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. After President Trump's executive order to end government EV subsidies, Self-driving cars are just two years away, he says. And, according to Khosrowshahi, Uber doesn't depend on government subsidies for success in the electric vehicle market. Fresh off his own inauguration party in Washington, Uber's CEO weighs in on congestion pricing, labor costs, and Donald Trump's second term while on the ground in Davos.

When the opportunity to lead the corporate travel business at Expedia arose, Regi Vengalil knew it was exactly the role he had been seeking to further his career trajectory. Stepping into the CFO position meant overseeing a business unit with $600 million in revenue and $120 million in EBITDA, and Vengalil was eager to take on the challenge. Prior to this, he had been leading a team of strategy and M&A professionals, but the new role offered a much broader scope of responsibility.“It was a way for me to jump in with both feet to kind of get a full, you know, it wasn't just a pure FP&A role. I had commercial finance, I had accounting. I even had a systems team. I had financial operations. So it was a full CFO role and a global team that I still knew very well, because I had led strategy for the company,” Vengalil recalls.This transition marked a critical point in his career. It was only about two years earlier, that Vengalil tells us upon joining Expedia corporate development he immediately became thrust into high-level decision-making, including a meeting with Chairman Barry Diller and CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. During the meeting, Vengalil was tasked with providing input on a strategic deal. After Khosrowshahi expressed support for the deal, Diller turned to Vengalil, who was new to the room, and asked, “Hey, new guy! What do you think?” Vengalil, though it was his first week, confidently laid out the reasons why he thought the deal posed more risk than reward, despite its appeal.Reflecting on their relationship, Vengalil observed a deep mutual respect between the two leaders, forged during years of close collaboration. Khosrowshahi, who had been with the company for over a decade, had worked closely with Diller on many deals, and Vengalil noted the rapport they shared, particularly in how they approached complex issues.Diller, known for his sharp insights and high standards, preferred discussions to be clear and lucid. “If you don't understand the complexity,” Vengalil observed, “you won't be able to communicate it simply.” This demand for clarity pushed Vengalil to deliver concise, well-reasoned perspectives, an expectation that both challenged and strengthened his leadership capabilities. This early exposure to Diller's precision-thinking had a lasting impact on Vengalil's strategic mindset.

Today I'm talking with Golnar Khosrowshahi, the founder and CEO of Reservoir Media, a newer record label that I think looks a lot like the future of the music industry. As Golnar explains, Reservoir thinks of individual songs as assets, and after acquiring them, the company sets about monetizing those assets in various ways. This is a copyright-based business in an age where copyright is under a lot of pressure — from TikTok, generative AI, and all of the now-familiar threats to the music business. If you're a Decoder listener, you know that I love thinking about the music industry. Whatever technology does to music, it does to everything else five years later. So paying attention to music is the best way I know to get ahead of the curve. I also just love music. Golnar is herself a musician. She obviously cares about music a lot, and she's clearly given a lot of thought to what happens next. So this was a great conversation. Links: Drake's AI clone is here — and Drake might not be able to stop him Hipgnosis made mega deals for song catalogs. Its future Is unclear. Reservoir acquires iconic Tommy Boy Music for $100 million Ed Sheeran wins copyright case over Marvin Gaye's ‘Let's Get It On' Spotify is reportedly making major changes to its royalty model Hipgnosis shareholders vote against continuation of UK-listed music investment trust AI can actually help protect creativity and copyrights Google and YouTube are trying to have it both ways with AI and copyright No Fakes Act wants to protect actors and singers from unauthorized AI replicas ‘Glocalisation' of music streaming within and across Europe Transcript: https://www.theverge.com/e/23702539 Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Today on the podcast we feature Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi in conversation with Skift Founder and CEO Rafat Ali onstage at Skift Global Forum in New York City last month. Among a litany of subjects, Khosrowshahi discusses Uber's high burn rate, its use of artificial intelligence, upcoming product releases like Uber Teens, Uber becoming a super app, and how essential the delivery service (Uber Eats) is to the business today. Visit live.skift.com to learn how you can attend our next industry defining live event. Up next is the Skift Aviation Forum, coming to Ft Worth, Texas on November 1.
Episode Notes The rise of artificial intelligence has been a major topic of discussion in the travel industry over the past year. So as the theme of this month's Skift Global Forum is Connection in the Age of AI, what do major travel executives think about booming technology? Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes provides some of their opinions about it. Dawes cites Airbnb's Brian Chesky and Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi as two CEOs vocal about the impact of AI on their companies. Chesky said AI would be the driving force between a vastly different Airbnb. Meanwhile, Khosrowshahi said AI could improve user personalization by tracking preferences, such as preferred types of cars. Dawes adds that executives around travel have spoken about how advancements in AI could change travel search and booking. Priceline and Booking.com have already released Google-powered tools on their respective apps. Next, the United Arab Emirates has established a gaming authority to regulate its nascent gambling industry, writes Middle East Reporter Josh Corder. Corder notes the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority will set guidelines for future casinos as well as a potential “Arabian Strip” gambling zone. The country's media has reported the agency would look to help unlock gaming's economic potential. The United Arab Emirates could earn roughly $6.6 billion in revenue yearly from gaming, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Finally, tour operators are increasingly turning to African adventures to attract young travelers, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Selene Brophy. Brophy cites Contiki as one company that has significantly boosted its Africa offerings. Contiki, which organizes trips geared largely towards 18-35 year olds, has seen bookings for its Africa tours jump 57% from 2019 levels. Kyle Junkuhn, Contiki's Operations Lead for Africa, said its itinerary design has been a major factor in its growth. Its guests can bungee jump and zip wire, among other activities, at Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the company achieved two major milestones during the quarter: its first quarter of free cash flow over $1 billion and its first GAAP operating profit. Khosrowshahi previously said that they will be able to accept cryptocurrency payments in the future. Limitations in transaction speed and cost are two limiting factors according to the CEO, both of which are solved by Solana and XRP Ledger. ~This episode is sponsored by iTrust Capital~ iTrustCapital | Get $100 Funding Reward + No Monthly Fees when you sign up using our custom link! ➜ https://bit.ly/iTrustPaul

De La Soul was legendary for their trail-blazing approach to hip-hop. But in recent years the trio become notable for another reason: You couldn't hear their music on any streaming platform. This means that generations of fans - including Recode's Peter Kafka - couldn't find them on the likes of Spotify, and potential new fans would never hear them at all. Today that's changed, thanks to Reservoir Media's CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi, who purchased the company that owned the trio's music, and then spent 18 months clearing the legal path to get them online. Khosrowshahi talks about the work and money that went into getting De La Soul streaming again and explains how her independent music company operates in a world dominated by giant players.

In a special episode of Squawk Pod, Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin are at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where they're speaking with Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi about this year's theme: Cooperation in a Fragmented World. Since Russia's war in Ukraine broke out, Ukrainians have relied heavily on the global private sector, including Uber. In the 11 months of the war so far, Uber has expanded its service footprint throughout the country, provided free rides to aid workers, doctors, and refugees, and transported supplies, food, and shelter in partnership with the United Nations. Khosrowshahi discusses the responsibility of tech companies during a crisis, as well as the impact of global economic and political pressures on his company's bottom line. Plus, he shares tipping etiquette and his own track record behind the wheel in San Francisco.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says that U.S. consumers are healthy and choosing to spend on services, like ride-sharing. The company reported third quarter financials today - and suffered a loss, but beat analysts' expectations on revenue. Khosrowshahi is also confident on the business for the rest of the year due to booming travel, easing COVID restrictions and shifts in consumer spending. And, the Biden Administration is floating windfall profit taxes on the oil and gas industry due to record-high energy prices. Plus, the dogecoin gets another day.

In November 2017, with Dara Khosrowshahi a few months into his job as Uber CEO, the ride-hailing company came to me with some explosive information: The company claimed that during Travis Kalanick's time as CEO, Uber had covered up a massive data breach. Hackers had downloaded sensitive information about Uber's riders and drivers, and the company's chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, had kept it under wraps by paying the hackers $100,000. Uber fired Sullivan and one of the company's lawyers. I published the exclusive story with the headline, Uber Paid Hackers to Delete Stolen Data on 57 Million People.Cyber security reporters have — for years — raised questions about the Khosrowshahi regime's story. Sullivan tried to frame the $100,000 payout as part of the company's white hat bug bounty program. And Sullivan's defenders argued that Kalanick era Uber's effort to conceal the payout — at a time when it was under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission over a prior data breach — looks even less anomalous today in a world where companies pay ransoms to hackers all the time. So I've watched the case closely over the years to see whether I'd been had. Had Khosrowshahi and crew whipped up a fake scandal? (I never quite understood why they would need to — Kalanick era Uber already had so many.)Over the years, the legal system has consistently validated Khosrowshahi era Uber's account. * In 2018, Uber reached a $148 million settlement with 50 states and the District of Columbia over its handling of the data breach. * In 2019, two men pleaded guilty to the Uber hack. * In 2020, the Justice Department indicted Sullivan, a former federal prosecutor, for his handling of the hack. * Finally, last week a jury found Sullivan guilty of both counts that prosecutors brought against him. (Those charges were obstruction of the Federal Trade Commission and misprision of a felony.) Still, parts of the cyber security world defended Sullivan's actions.Joseph Menn, the well-respected cyber security reporter for the Washington Post and author of Cult of the Dead Cow, recently quoted security experts raising concerns about the potential ramifications of the guilty verdict.Menn wrote,Most security professionals had been anticipating Sullivan's acquittal, noting that he had kept the CEO and others who were not charged informed of what was happening.“Personal liability for corporate decisions with executive stakeholder input is a new territory that's somewhat uncharted for security executives,” said Dave Shackleford, owner of Voodoo Security. “I fear it will lead to a lack of interest in our field, and increased skepticism about infosec overall.”John Johnson, a “virtual” chief information security officer for multiple companies, agreed. “Your company leadership could make choices that can have very personal repercussions to you and your lifestyle,” he said. “Not saying everything Joe did was right or perfect, but we can't bury our head and say it will never happen to us.”So Tom Dotan and I invited Menn onto the Dead Cat podcast to get his perspective on Sullivan's conviction.

Apple's director of machine learning, Ian Goodfellow, is leaving the company due to its return to work policy, according to a tweet by Zoe Schiffer, a tech reporter with The Verge. Ride-hailing network provider Uber's CEO has promised cutbacks on spending, CNBC reports. And the global tech-led sell-off after US monetary tightening has hit cryptocurrencies as well, with Bitcoin losing more than half its value from its November peak. Notes: Apple's director of machine learning, Ian Goodfellow, is leaving the company due to its return-to-work policy, according to a tweet on May 8 by Zoe Schiffer, a tech reporter with The Verge. In a note to staff, Goodfellow said “I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team,” according to Schiffer's tweet, which has been picked up widely. Uber, is the latest tech company to announce cutbacks, with money becoming less cheap, and investors looking elsewhere. The ride-hailing network provider will cut back on spending and focus on becoming a leaner business to address a “seismic shift” in investor sentiment, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told employees in an email, CNBC reported on Monday. Uber will slash spending on marketing and incentives and treat hiring as a “privilege,” Khosrowshahi said, according to CNBC. The world's biggest tech companies have lost over a trillion dollars in value, as dumped stocks after central banks around the world raised the rates at which commercial banks could borrow from them. Bitcoin fell below the $30,000 mark today as both traditional financial markets and cryptocurrencies suffered from a sell-off caused by the US Federal Reserve's monetary tightening as well as fears of a recession, CoinDesk reports. The latest decline left bitcoin at a 10-month low and its lowest price this year, less than half the value that the cryptocurrency had in November last. HCL Technologies is acquiring Confinale AG, a Switzerland-based digital banking and wealth management consulting specialist, India's third-biggest IT services company said in a press release. The acquisition will help HCL expand its reach in the global wealth management market with an emphasis on consulting, implementation and management of banking software from Avaloq, another Swiss company, whose software is used by some 140 banks around the world. Clearview AI, an American facial recognition surveillance company, has agreed to permanently ban most private companies from using its service under a court settlement, The Verge reports. The agreement, filed in a court in the US state of Illinois yesterday, would settle a 2020 American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit that alleged the company had built its business on facial recognition data taken without user consent.

“People often optimize for the role or for the company. The first thing I optimize for is who I will work with. Don't bet on companies, bet on people,” Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, told students at today's View From The Top event. Khosrowshahi discussed his departure from Expedia and his approach to shifting company values at Uber to focus on diversity and inclusion. “An important factor in our change was setting a new culture and new norms,” he said. “We crowdsourced those norms and asked people – what kind of company do we want to be?” Khosroshahi advised students to let go of benchmarking via titles and salaries when it comes to career goals. “Have a theme but don't get locked in. I'm always looking around to make sure my own biases don't prevent me from seeing something great,” he said. “When you're lucky enough to take that risk, jump!”
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi discusses how the company plans to outdo Amazon for local commerce delivery, the impact of rising gasoline prices and the war in Ukraine, and Uber's commitment to electrification. He also reiterates that Uber will accept crypto some day. Khosrowshahi speaks with Emily Chang at the ShopTalk conference in Las Vegas.

He says, “Do I feel guilty about it? No.”On this episode of “Sway,” Kara Swisher asks Mr. Khosrowshahi about the plight of drivers and restaurant owners, and whether Uber is part of the “menace economy.”You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

Harry's latest podcast where he interviewed Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi: https://therideshareguy.com/rsg140-dara-khosrowshahi-on-ubers-third-way/ **8:10 - UBER CEO SUGGESTS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MAKING DRIVERS EMPLOYEES** - For years, ride-hailing and other gig economy companies have been criticized for their decision to classify workers as independent contractors. - In an op-ed for the New York Times, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi suggested the government act to create a new worker classification for gig economy workers: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/10/opinion/uber-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-gig-workers-deserve-better.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage **17:55 - DO UBER DRIVERS WANT TO BE COMPANY EMPLOYEES?** - A recent survey, commissioned by Uber shows app-based drivers don't want to be company employees. - A recent estimate from Barclays said Uber would pay about $2,040 per employee per year if they were to re-classify workers as employees. An estimate from Khosrowshahi's op-ed said the company said a driver would receive about $1,350 in benefit pay under proposal (driver in Colorado working 35 hours). **32:00 - GIG ECONOMY COMPANIES FACE ANOTHER CHALLENGE IN CALIFORNIA: PROP 22** - Yesterday, Uber and Lyft were dealt a blow, as a San Francisco Superior Court judge issued a preliminary injunction that would require both companies to classify workers as employees. **42:00 - EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC ON DRIVERS** - In the company's latest earnings call, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said ride bookings in core U.S. markets were down as much as 85% during Q2. Lyft has also reported similar declines in ridership. - Independent, gig-economy workers were eligible for additional unemployment pay ($600 per week) but now, many of those benefits dried up.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about Uber's evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic, how it's preparing for the world to re-open, and the one segment of the company that is thriving right now — its food delivery business, UberEats. Khosrowshahi also discusses the company's recent 6700-person layoffs, the blowback UberEats has received for the fees it imposes on restaurant owners, and the “rumors” that it will acquire food delivery rival GrubHub, and why that wouldn't be a monopoly. Plus: How are Uber's relations with local and federal governments, and what would Khosrowshahi do if he were still the CEO of a travel company like Expedia?

In this episode, I recap my experience at the #TechCrunchDisrupt2018 Conference. #TechCrunchDisrupt is where you'll find the renowned Startup Battlefield competition, a virtual Hackathon, hundreds of startups in Startup Alley, Workshops and legendary networking at their After Parties all in San Francisco, where startup dreams began. Two of the best interviews at the conference were with #Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Cruise Founder Kyle Vogt. In the interview with Khosrowshahi, he explains why Uber is investing heavily in Scooters stating that it is part of "building a [transportation] platform." Khosrowshahi also explains that Uber will not longer just be a ride sharing company, but a business that will manage "point-to-point" transportation, which could include scooters, trains, cars and many more forms of transportation. Self-driving cars are the future and Cruise has relaunched its strategy to dominate this space. Vogt explains why Cruise had to drop its retrofit strategy to focus on the future of self-driving cars. Vogt also gives Elon Musk a back-slap by saying that too many executives in Silicon Valley were to arrogant to seek and accept help. Vogt explained that his partnership with General Motors is the perfect partnership for a startup in this space. In episode 33, I teach startup how to fight like a Guerrillapreneur. In the episode, I showcase my 4-Ds framework that reaches the same conclusion that Vogt came to in partnering with General Motors. Please check out that episode https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/ceyeroconsulting/episodes/2018-08-23T12_26_37-07_00. I spent time in Start Alley meeting with the most disruptive robotics companies. First, I met with Kiwi Robotics ("https://www.kiwicampus.com"). #Kiwicampus provides autonomous delivery robots that can delivery food directly to your door. Using their app, you can unlock the Kiwi Robot and retrieve your food. Second, I interviewed Erin Llao, the founder Mule Robotics (https://www.mulerobotics.com). #MuleRobotics created a shopping cart that follows you in the store while also calculating your total and paying for your items. MuleRobotics makes shopping easy. Third, I met with Smart Gurlz, creators of the world's only programmable robot for girls. Kari Byron, former star of Mythbusters, has teamed up with founder Sharmi Albreachtsen, to promote a robot toy designed for girls that can teach them to program. Finally, I met with the founder of Koder (https://www.koder.com), is a gig economy freelance platform where top coders compete for bounties/tasks. Koder is an outcome-based alternative to Upwork (UPWK) and Gigster.Are you an artist/singer/songwriter? Want to feature your new song on my podcast FREE OF CHARGE, tweet me @guerillapreneur.

A little more than a year ago, Uber's board was in search of a new chief executive. Co-founder Travis Kalanick had resigned from the top job amid allegations of a toxic and sexist company culture, and the board was looking for someone to fix the group's operations and ready it for what is expected to be the tech world's biggest public offering. Behind The Money looks at Dara Khosrowshahi's first year at the helm. With the FT's Shannon Bond.

Dara Khosrowshahi is the CEO of Uber, the transportation platform. He took office in September 2017 with a clear mission to lead Uber out of its troubles and renew its reputation. Formerly having led travel-platform Expedia, Iranian-born Khosrowshahi brings determination, experience and vision to his new job. Interviewed by Christoph Keese on the stage of NOAH at Tempodrom Berlin, Dara Khosrowshahi explains his strategy. He promises a fresh start in Germany asking taxi drivers, politics, costumers and the general public to give Uber a second chance.
Dara Khosrowshahi, the CEO of ride-hailing company Uber, talks with Recode’s Kara Swisher at the 2018 Code Conference. Khosrowshahi says he didn’t expect to be offered the CEO job and turned it down, but is happy he accepted it in the end. He explains how he’s trying to rethink what Uber should be and how he works with founder and ex-CEO Travis Kalanick, who is still on the board of directors. Khosrowshahi also unpacks Uber’s plan to be the “Amazon of transportation” and what it’s doing with its self-driving car initiative in the aftermath of a fatal accident in Arizona.

Since its founding less than a decade ago, Uber has grown from a taxi-booking start-up in San Francisco to a multi-billion dollar company operating in 73 countries with 18,000 employees. And the fast-growing company has big ambitions, including plans to go public next year. But while it prepares for that milestone, Uber is facing a lot of challenges. The company is fighting regulations, protests and competitors all over the world. It's also trying to recover from a string of scandals, including reports of a toxic culture and multiple allegations of harassment and discrimination that led to the ouster of Uber’s founder, Travis Kalanick. On top of that, a huge Uber project to develop its own self-driving cars ground to a halt after a fatal crash in Arizona last month. At this critical moment, the company has brought on a new leader: Dara Khosrowshahi, the good-natured, former C.E.O of Expedia, has been charged with changing the internal culture of Uber while repairing the brand's external image. This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman speaks with Sheelah Kolhatkar, staff writer at The New Yorker who recently published a profile of Khosrowshahi for the magazine.
In this episode of SMACtalk, captured live at Intel Shift, host Daniel Newman sat down with Amir Khosrowshahi. Amir, who quietly revealed that he is cousin to the new Uber CEO, is also quite impressive in his own right as he made a significant Silicon Valley exit when his former company, Nervana was purchased by Intel. Amir is now the CTO of the AI Products group at Intel and he shared with SMACtalk a number of tremendous insights on AI. First, he painted the picture of how AI will be utilized in more commercial applications. He backed that up with giving CTO and tech leaders inside the enterprise a roadmap for deploying AI and perhaps just as important, Mapping AI strategy to be able to compete in the future as AI continues to proliferate. Lastly, Khosrowshahi touched on how Intel is differentiating its AI strategy from the competition. Check out this exciting discussion and get your “Geek” on with SMACtalk. Amir Khosrowshahi, VP & CTO, Artificial Intelligence Products Group, Intel Amir Khosrowshahi is VP and CTO of the AI products group at Intel. He was previously co-founder and CTO of Nervana, a startup acquired by Intel last year. He has a BA and MA from Harvard and PhD from Berkeley.
Uber's Board is a Corporate Governance disaster. Founder Travis Kalanick and Benchmark Capital continue to beef. Kalanick hired former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns and former Merrill CEO John Thain to the Board. This was unbeknownst to new Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi (wonder how long Khosrowshahi's tenure will last?). Toxic Board situation - we side with Benchmark. Hard to believe Jeff Immelt and Marissa Mayer threw their hats in the ring for the CEO post this summer.
