Uber delivery chief Gore-Coty is leaving after almost 13 years at ride-hailing company
Uber said Monday that Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, one of the company's longest-tenured top executives and the head of is delivery business is leaving after almost 13 years.
Gore-Coty joined Uber as a general manager in France in 2012, and worked his way up to become vice president of mobility for the Europe and Middle East region four years later, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was named senior vice president of delivery in 2021.
"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."
The company didn't say what Gore-Coty plans to do next.
Uber 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.
Gore-Coty is one of 11 people listed on Uber's executive team page. Macdonald is the only one who has worked at the company longer. He joined in May 2012, four months before Gore-Coty, according to LinkedIn.
"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."
Uber shares were little changed in extended trading after closing on Monday at $83.64. The stock is up 39% this year, while the Nasdaq is about flat.

Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden's former press secretary, says she's now an independent
(CNN) – Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as White House press secretary under former President Joe Biden, has switched her party affiliation to independent, according to a publishing company's description of her forthcoming book. Jean-Pierre, who has worked in Democratic politics for decades, is set to release a new book that will discuss Biden's decision to bow out of the 2024 election and encourage voters to look beyond the two-party political system. The description of her book, titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,' says she 'didn't come to her decision to be an Independent lightly.' The book, which will be released in October, will examine 'the three weeks that led to Biden's abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision,' according to a book description from Legacy Lit, an imprint of Hachette Book Group. That suggests Jean-Pierre's book may further fuel the intraparty argument over whether Biden should have sought reelection given his age and questions about his mental acuity. Biden dropped out of the race last summer after a disastrous debate performance, making way for former Vice President Kamala Harris, who eventually lost to President Donald Trump. Jean-Pierre served as the White House's top spokesperson for more than two years and previously worked for the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign, in the Obama administration and for the progressive organization MoveOn. She faced criticism at times for her responses to questions about Biden's health, including in the wake of his debate performance. 'Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States. At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country,' Jean-Pierre said in a statement to CNN. 'We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past.'

Visit Huntington Beach President and CEO Kelly Miller to retire in October
Kelly Miller wants to visit Joshua Tree. To help make that happen, he's stepping down as president and chief executive of travel marketing organization Visit Huntington Beach, effective Oct. 15. Miller, who has been at the helm of Visit Huntington Beach for 12 of the nearly 35 years he's worked in the visitor industry, decided it's a good time to retire and enjoy life with his wife. 'I do believe that as we get to the next chapter and hopefully the next third of my life, because I do want to try to live to be 100, those priorities change,' said Miller, 67, in an interview Monday. 'You have a sense in your own skull that those priorities are changing and you want to do more hobbies or travel more, and you aren't as excited about the things you used to be excited about when I was younger in the hospitality industry. 'I love to ride my bike, I love Orange County and I love Huntington Beach, and I want to really enjoy the time we have here within this region. I've never been to Joshua Tree, for example. These are the things that we talk about, but before you know it we're in the middle of COVID and all of these things start to happen.' Miller feels that under his leadership, Visit Huntington Beach has solidified Surf City's status as a premier destination for travelers, events and 'beach-wide' conventions, delivering on the brand promise of being the quintessential California beach destination. Miller, whose organization hosted the biannual Tourism Summit last month, noted that Huntington Beach welcomed 2.34 million non-Orange County visitors last year, a 4.4% increase from 2023. Roughly two-thirds of the city's visitors overall are repeat visitors. 'If you lay that foundation right and the team is delivering on what the board's expectations are, the question becomes, do you mail it in or do you look to do the next chapter?' Miller said. 'Leaving on one's own terms is very important.' During his tenure, Visit HB reached a 10-year funding agreement with the city of Huntington Beach, and saw three Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) assessment increases. Justin Simpson, the Visit HB board chairman and general manager of Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach Resort, said Miller's ability to balance forward-thinking strategy with a results-based approach has served the city well. 'While we will deeply miss his presence, we fully support Kelly's decision to retire and are grateful for the legacy he leaves behind,' Simpson said in a news release. 'Under his leadership, VHB has not only achieved national recognition, including DMAP accreditation from Destinations International, but has also twice been named one of the best places to work in Orange County. His impact will be felt for years to come.' Miller held destination leadership roles in Juneau, Alaska; Atlanta, Ga.; Asheville, N.C. and Tampa, Fla. before coming to Huntington Beach. A longtime supporter of sports tourism, he is currently the chair of the Orange County Sports Commission and formerly chaired the Orange County Visitors Assn. He said some of his favorite memories during his tenure include celebrating surfing's centennial in 2014 and 2015, when he rode a 42-foot-long surfboard with 66 other surfers, setting Guinness World Records for both the length of the board and most riders. In June 2019, Huntington Beach hosted Visit USA's annual IPW tourism showcase, which included a performance by Snoop Dogg. Miller said that hosting the International Surfing Assn. World Para Surfing Championship the last two years was also meaningful for him, as his stepmother lived with multiple sclerosis for decades. Visit Huntington Beach now has more money to market the travel destination than ever before, and recently partnered with a new advertising agency, JNS Next. 'I now have in place an incredible team,' he said. 'There were some things we wanted to check off. This might be a good time to wave goodbye, be around to see my successor get hired, help train them and go to my next chapter. It just felt time.'
