Rumors are Arianna Huffington is being considered to replace Travis Kalanick as its next CEO. Really? What on Earth qualifies her for this post? Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Arianna. She built and sold a media empire. And a good one. However, is Uber a media company? No. Is Uber a web company? No. Is Uber a technology company? No. So nothing in her background even remotely comes close to the experience and skill set the next Uber CEO needs.
So what does Uber need in its next CEO?
