Uber CEO Apologizes for Company Culture after Harassment Claims

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick apologized for the company's culture on Tuesday after a former software developer claimed she was sexually harassed and discriminated against while working there. 

The apology came during an all-hand meeting that lasted for more than an hour which was led by Kalanick, alongside board member Arianna Huffington and Uber's head of human resources. 

Uber's chief executive officer, at times with tears in his eyes, apologized for a lack of diversity in the company's workforce and for not properly responding to employee complaints. 

Travis accepted all his mistakes and spoke about them very honestly and about how he wants to take the events of the last 48-hours to build a better Uber. "It was great to see employees holding managers accountable. I also view it as my responsibility to hold the leadership team’s feet to the fire on this issue," Huffington wrote in a company blog post after the meeting. "Change doesn’t usually happen without a catalyst. I hope that by taking the time to understand what’s gone wrong and fixing it we can not only make Uber better but also contribute to improvements for women across the industry."
