Uber's senior VP of delivery Gore-Coty to depart
Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, senior vice president of delivery at Uber, is stepping down from his position after almost 13 years, per a CNBC report, which cited a regulatory filing by the company on Monday.
Gore-Coty joined Uber as a general manager in France in 2012, and he became vice president of mobility for the Europe and Middle East region four years later, per the report
“It’s hard to imagine Uber without Pierre, because there hasn’t been much Uber without Pierre,” CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement that was part of a regulatory filing. “As one of our first employees, he was a driving force behind our global Mobility expansion and stepped up to run Uber Eats just weeks before the first Covid lockdowns,” per the report.

The report also said that Andrew Macdonald, the company’s senior vice president of mobility and business operations, will become chief operating officer, reporting to Khosrowshahi. Macdonald, 41, will oversee the company’s global mobility, delivery and autonomous businesses in addition to “key cross-platform functions like membership, customer support, safety, and more,” the filing said.
“These last nearly 13 years have been the ride of a lifetime,” Gore-Coty said in the statement. “It was a true team effort, and I’m so proud of what we’ve built and the impact we’ve had on daily life in cities around the world,” the report said.
