On November 19, according to foreign media reports, Manik Gupta, chief product officer of Uber, a car Hailing company, announced Monday that he would leave the company on December 13. "After a discussion with chief executive Dara khosrowshahi and my family, I made a difficult decision to leave Uber," Gupta said in a notice to the product team. Now we have passed the IPO, which is also an important year for the company. " In an interview, Gupta explained in detail why he thought it was a good time for him to take a rest and pointed out that he "gave the team to very competent people". As a result, he said he was "very optimistic about Uber's future.". During this period, Gupta plans to pay attention to some emerging trends in the field of consumer Internet. In the past four years, this is what the former Gupta will do next. His plan is to "recharge" and spend time with his family. Great changes have taken place in. He said tiktok, TikTok, was not an example for four years ago. At the same time, the scrutiny around all of these consumer platforms is becoming more and more rigorous, he said: "I really want to take a closer look at these trends." Gupta joined Uber in 2015 as a senior director of the maps and marketing product team. In November 2018, Gupta was promoted to chief product officer. Uber has yet to find a successor to the chief product officer, so Gupta needs to stay during this transition to help the company find his successor. Uber is said to be competent, and Matt cohler, the benchmark general partner, will also help Dara khosrowshahi, Uber's chief executive, identify a chief product officer. In the meantime, Gupta was in charge of the business. In Gupta's notice, he said that this would be a good opportunity for koslosasi to participate more in the product team business. "Gupta has enhanced our product strategy over the past four years and has been the driving force behind many of our most ambitious releases, including Uber rewards, Uber pro, Uber wallet and our move to 'super apps,'" said a Uber secretary general. We thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best. " This year, Uber has led more than 1000 employees across the company's marketing, engineering, products, takeout, and other teams. Gupta is one of the leaders responsible for assessing the performance of his team, and needs to identify repetitive and overlapping roles, as well as personal performance, and who can be fired. The process led to 170 job cuts in the product team in September. "Note, it's a tough decision, but it's the right one," Gupta said. We have to take execution to a new level and see how we prepare for the future. " Fundamentally, Uber has introduced many new features and tools in the past few months, including a financial services platform, take out and advertising in incentive programs. Puta mentioned three products, Uber pro, Uber rewards and Uber money. This is a goal that makes Gupta "very excited.". Looking forward to the future, Gupta hopes that the company can maintain the speed of recovery and "make more and more bold bets". Shortly before Gupta's departure, Uber reported more than $1 billion in alternatives in its latest financial report, with a potential current of $26.78. Here is the full text of Gupta's notice: for me, the end of November is my fourth year in Uber. We have been planning our strategy for next year, and I have been making my own 2020 plan. After several discussions with kosrosasi and my family, I made a difficult decision to leave Uber. Now we have passed the IPO, which is also an important year for the company. I joined Uber to solve the fascinating problem of building a real world market around the world. I was privileged to take part in an amazing journey because we have reached unbelievable scale in several industries. I am really proud of what we have achieved as a team. We have a strong product roadmap ahead of us, and I continue to look forward to Uber's future. I thank this team for their efforts to integrate the amazing product experience for our users. This is a good opportunity for kosrosasi to be more involved in the product business. Later this afternoon, he and I will host a Q & A with all of you to discuss the transition and transition plan. As far as what I'm going to do next, I might take a break and experience the coming holidays. Before my son starts high school next year, I plan to spend some time with my family and recharge before my next adventure. I would like to thank kosarosasi for giving me the opportunity to lead the product team so that I can help drive the ever-changing product goals.
