Even if the position in Uber lasted only one year, it was anything but negative. When Bozoma arrived in Uber, the company was challenged in several important markets in which it operated, both by political and government representatives and by the associations of half-world taxi drivers for having distorted a service and a consolidated sector for decades.

Added to this were the scandals generated by the behavior and attitude of Travis Kalanick, co-founder and then CEO of Uber, who left his positions in the company a few days after Bozoma’s entry into the company.

For a year Bozoma was the public face of Uber in the US, not only participating in technology conferences with media and press, but also releasing numerous interviews to all the major newspapers, including Vogue, New York Magazine, Glamor and Cosmopolitan.

Also thanks to Bozoma the image of Uber has definitely improved in recent months, a work of embellishment and cleanliness that has contributed to the change at the top. The new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi who replaced Kalanick took on a much more conciliatory and responsible tone than his predecessor.

The appreciation of Bozoma’s work in Uber comes from the CEO in office “I want to thank Boz for his contributions over the past year,” says Dara Khosrowshahi. “Boz joined Uber at a time when the company he was suffering, but his energy, optimism, and creativity were a key part of our turnaround. “
