trade secrets: He will remain on the Uber Technologies Inc. board, according to The Japan Times. In a statement, Kalanick said his resignation would help Uber go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight. The company's board confirmed the move early Tuesday, saying in a statement that Kalanick is taking time to heal from the death of his mother in a boating accident while giving the company room to fully embrace this new chapter in Uber's history. The resignation came after a series of costly missteps by Kalanick and the fast-growing company that he helped found eight years ago. The San Francisco-based company is trying to reverse damage done to its reputation by revelations of sexual harassment in its offices, allegations of theft of trade secrets, and an investigation into efforts to mislead government regulators. Uber on Monday embarked on a 180-day program to change its image by allowing riders to give drivers tips through the Uber app, something the company had resisted under Kalanick.
