Hyderabad: US-based ride sharing firm Uber on Monday announced the hiring of former American Express executive Vishpala Reddy as the Chief People’s Officer for its India and South Asia operations.
Ms Reddy, who did her graduation at St Francis Xavier Degree College, will focus on enhancing diversity and inclusion by developing programmes to foster an equal opportunity workplace at Uber as part of her role.
“I look forward to building a forward looking, sustainable and people focused organisation and having the opportunity to work alongside a highly talented workforce,” Ms Reddy said.
The company, in recent days, has been in headlines following allegations of widespread mismanagement and harassment at workplace. In an attempt to repair its reputation, its co-founder Travis Kalanick resigned as the CEO.
