(Bloomberg/Natalie Lung) — The Uber Technologies Inc. veteran overseeing its safety operations is set to depart, setting off a second round of executive changes this year at a time when the rideshare giant is being scrutinized in court over the measures it takes to protect riders.
Gus Fuldner, a senior vice president for safety and core services who has been with the company for more than a decade, will leave the company in January, he said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday. That follows the departure earlier this year of another longtime executive and former SVP for delivery, Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty.
When Gore-Coty left, then-SVP for mobility Andrew Macdonald was promoted and named the company’s first chief operating officer since 2019, consolidating his leadership over Uber’s core ride-hailing and delivery units.

In September, Uber won a first-of-its-kind jury trial that determined it didn’t fail its legal duty to use the utmost care and caution in maintaining the safety of its passengers. More trials are set to start early next year.
Uber isn’t naming Fuldner’s replacement, but existing heads of safety and insurance under him will report to Macdonald, who also oversees complementary functions like customer support, an Uber spokesperson told Bloomberg. Macdonald also has purview over other key growth areas such as autonomous vehicle strategy and advertising.
The engineering and product teams for the safety function and core services will move under Chief Technology Officer Praveen Neppalli Naga and Chief Product Officer Sachin Kansal, said CEO Dara Khosrowshahi in a separate LinkedIn post on Thursday.
