Uber Technologies Inc. will appoint Expedia Inc.’s Dara Khosrowshahi as chief executive officer of the global ride-hailing leviathan, two people familiar with the matter said. He’ll succeed co-founder Travis Kalanick, who grew Uber into a $20 billion annual booking business last year before scandals forced him out.
A spokeswoman for Uber directors said they’ve chosen a CEO but declined to name the person, saying the board would inform employees first. Expedia didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
