Travis Kalanick

In 2016, then-US president-elect Donald Trump announced that Kalanick would join a team of business leaders at the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum, to advise on job-creation and economic growth. In 2017, Kalanick resigned as Uber CEO after multiple public reports and an internal inquiry of the company’s culture of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination, including allegations that he ignored reports of sexual harassment at the company. In 2019 he resigned from the company’s board of directors, selling off most of his shares for a profit of $2.5 billion.
