Uber Technologies Inc. general counsel Salle Yoo is being promoted to chief legal officer, and the company will begin an external search for a new general counsel to handle daily legal and regulatory work for the company, according to an internal email from Uber CEO Travis Kalanick to employees.
Yoo, in her new role as chief legal officer, general counsel and corporate secretary, will work with Uber executives and newly hired senior vice president and chief human resources officer Liane Hornsey to “help drive critical company initiatives like equal pay, increasing diversity in our business, and building a strong cultural foundation for the future of Uber,” Kalanick wrote in the email, first reported by Business Insider.
