Uber to Ask Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg to be Next CEO

June 21, 2017

Numerous Silicon Valley names have been suggested for Uber's open CEO position, but one name apparently stands out - Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Uber Director Arianna Huffington is pushing the idea, convinced that a woman would be ideally suited to fix Uber's mess.

 

While Sandberg has a close relationship with Huffington, it's unlikely that she would leave Facebook, given her long and successful history at that company, as well as the fact that she is still grieving the sudden death of her husband, 2 years ago while on a Mexico vacation.

 

Among the other names being considered is former Disney COO Tom Staggs who, in fact, already interviewed at the company ahead of Kalanick’s exit, according to one source.
