“The board has confidence in Travis,” said Arianna Huffington, co-founder of news site The Huffington Post and an Uber board member.

Discussion over whether Kalanick may be forced to resign has not “come up and we don’t expect it to come up.” Huffington did note that the 40-year-old Kalanick needs to revamp his management style to that of a “leader of a major global company” rather than as a “scrappy entrepreneur.”

Kalanick acted immediately in condemning alleged sexual harassment reported by former employee, Susan Fowler. Fowler publicly posted in her blog that on her official start date in November 2015 her manager had suggested that she should have sex with him, as previously reported by PHRM.

She also charged that human resources failed to take action and dismissed her concerns.
