About the Team

The most successful technology companies are forward-thinking storytellers who can effectively engage business, technical, and consumer audiences alike to illustrate the magic behind—and the benefits of—their products.

Our team is responsible for telling Uber’s story, whether it’s transforming how we get around and supporting the lives of people who value independent, flexible work; helping reduce congestion in cities and complement public transportation; or empowering local commerce through our delivery offerings. This work is about building deep relationships with key journalists and opinion leaders, and partnering across the company to create campaigns that tell our story in new and effective ways.
