Uber approaching Disney, Walmart executives for COO's role
Ride-hailing app Uber is approaching current and former executives of big companies like Disney, Walmart and CVS Heath to hire its first Chief Operating Officer (COO), according to The Wall Street Journal. Uber says the new hire would be a partner to Co-founder and CEO Travis Kalanick, rather than a subordinate. This comes after Kalanick admitted he needed leadership help.
