Uber's 'A-Team' falls apart with exec's exit

New York

FOR years, Travis Kalanick, Uber's chief executive, had his own personal "A-Team" at the ride-hailing company.

The name referred to a coterie of Uber's top executives who were among some of the company's early employees and had some of the same aggressive sensibilities as Mr Kalanick. The A-Team included Emil Michael, senior vice-president for business, and Eric Alexander, a top executive in Asia, as well as Thuan Pham, Uber's chief technology officer.
