Dara Khosrowshahi rebuilt Uber from the inside after Travis Kalanick's resignation — transforming a crisis-ridden company into a profitable public corporation while simultaneously expanding into food delivery (Uber Eats), freight, and autonomous vehicles. Born in Tehran in 1969, his family fled Iran after the revolution and settled in New York. He previously served as CEO of Expedia for 12 years, quadrupling its market cap, before taking on the Uber turnaround in 2017. His methodical, empathetic leadership style — in stark contrast to his predecessor — is widely credited with stabilizing Uber's culture and investor confidence during one of the most scrutinized corporate transitions in technology history.
