Uber has lost yet another executive to continue the exodus of departures at the transportation company,\u00a0Automotive News reports<\/a>. This time, it\u2019s Uber VP of Global Vehicle Programs Sherif Marakby, who helped launch Uber\u2019s self-driving program in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear why Marakby left but Uber told Auto News that it was not related to the lawsuit with Waymo<\/a>. It\u2019s also not clear if he left as a result of the sexual harassment allegations, but something tells me that scandal probably didn\u2019t make him\u00a0particularly pumped to stick around. Marakby joined Uber last April after working at Ford for 25 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the past few months, a gazillion people have left Uber. Ok, a gazillion is\u00a0a bit of an exaggeration,\u00a0but Marakby\u2019s departure comes not too long after Uber lost its head of comms<\/a>, president<\/a>, head of AI Labs<\/a>, VP of growth<\/a>\u00a0and SVP of engineering<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve reached out to Uber and will update this story if I hear back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
