Uber software head leaves as past harassment claim surfaces
San Francisco
UBER Technologies Inc executive Amit Singhal resigned after the ride-hailing company learned of a sexual harassment allegation from his previous job at Google.
Mr Singhal stepped down just a month after joining Uber as senior vice-president of engineering, where he oversaw software development, the company said. After he started on Jan 20, Uber became aware of an investigation at Google into a sexual harassment allegation that Mr Singhal didn't disclose and that wasn't discovered during the hiring process, said people familiar with the matter.
