What people are talking about today: Just a month after its IPO, Uber’s COO Barney Harford and CMO Rebecca Messina are both leaving the company. The announcement was confirmed in an SEC filing, in which Uber stated that Jill Hazelbaker, who currently oversees Policy and Communications, will assume responsibility for the company’s Marketing function. Former Coke marketer Messina has been with the company for less than a year, having joined from Beam Suntory in September 2018. Harford meanwhile joined in 2017 but, according to an earlier story in the New York Times, was the subject of employee complaints after comments he made in a conference call about an ad featuring a mixed-race couple. According to The Verge, Uber employees were informed of the changes in an email on Friday from CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who said of Hazelbaker: ‘Since joining Uber nearly four years ago, Jill has been instrumental in addressing some of our toughest challenges as a company. She’s an excellent team builder and always committed to doing what’s best for Uber.” Messina's tenure, meanwhile, seems to have been barely longer than, well, an Uber ride.
