After months of scandals and a major review of the company’s culture, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has resigned under pressure from investors. Kalanick’s critics hope the leadership shakeup will change the culture at the ride-hailing company, which has been facing allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination. We’ll discuss the resignation and what it could mean for the San Francisco-based company, its employees, investors and customers.
