Uber Chief Technology Officer Thuan Pham is stepping down after seven years as an executive at the company. Uber Technologies Inc. has been hit hard by the coronavirus’s impact on the travel industry, as global transportation has ground to a virtual standstill.
The company may also be mulling job cuts of as much as 20%, according to tech news site the Information, which also reported on Pham’s departure earlier on Tuesday. Uber had about 27,000 employees at the end of last year.
