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.
Last month, the company reported first-quarter results that beat on earnings but missed on revenue. A month earlier, the Federal Trade Commission sued Uber, alleging that the company engaged in 'deceptive billing and cancellation practices' related to its Uber One subscription service.

Scots Apprentice star Mike Soutar duped in 'shameful' online gift card scam
The Dundee-born businessman was recently stung by crooks online. Scots Apprentice star Mike Soutar has admitted to being caught out in a "shameful" gift card scam. The Dundee-born businessman, known for his forensic interrogation of candidates on BBC's The Apprentice, was stung by crooks online. Writing about the con on LinkedIn, Mr Soutar told his followers that although he got his money back, he was left with an overwhelming sense of shame. The entrepreneur believed he was being emailed by Tim Allan CBE, who requested him to buy a £450 iTunes voucher. After attempting to contact the fellow businessman with no success, he quickly snapped up £150 worth of vouchers. But when his bank spotted a second transaction, it blocked the initial payment - sparking the star's scam concerns. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Not only is he my inspiring Chairman on the board of the V&A Museum in Scotland, he is also an ex-tank commander. "So when he emails a request for me to take on a 'special assignment' early on Saturday morning I am intrigued. Can you buy some vouchers for some of the members of the team to recognise their hard work over and above the call of duty?' "This is typical Tim. Brilliant at knowing the right time to make a personal gesture. And he's right: the team have been working overtime to put on an epic new Garden Design exhibition. "We exchange emails. Tim says he knows he can trust me to keep it all confidential. And then: "Can you get the vouchers in the next 20-30 minutes?' Erm, OK, I reply, but it'll have to be online. That's fine, he says: 'just get iTune gift cards, do £450-worth, send me the PINs and keep the cards in an envelope for me.' "He sounds a bit stressed and impatient so I try to call him. I get no answer but, pressed for time myself, I buy £150 of vouchers. "My credit card flags the second transaction and blocks it. I curse the overcautious fraud filter, and… oh hang on. I tap on Tim's name at the top of the email address. "It is not his email address. I message him. He phones me back. 'What's all this about vouchers?' Mr Soutar went on to warn his followers how crooks "don't prey on stupidity" but rather on timing, stress and distraction. He continued: "I've been scammed. And this is the part that stings. Not the money. (I get that back.) Not the perceived loss of face explaining it all to Tim. It's the sense of shame. "The stomach-punch to your self-worth. The voice in your head saying: 'You absolute mug, Mike. How did you fall for it?' "The irony is not lost on me. I'm the man who catches unwitting candidates out on The Apprentice! But scams don't prey on stupidity. They prey on timing. On stress. On distraction. They exploit trust. "That's why so many victims don't talk about it. Because it feels personal. It shakes something deeper than your bank balance. So here I am, not staying silent. " Fraud can happen to anyone. Even me. Even you." It comes as figures revealed Scots lost nearly £1m to cyber criminals in the last 12 months. The stats, from Advice Direct Scotland, showed how digital cons rocketed from only 94 in 2021/22 to 1,119 this year - an astonishing rise of 1,090 per cent. The national consumer advice service reported crooks using social media to target individuals, with scams soaring by 847 per cent in the last year - underscoring the vulnerability of users on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Email-based scams also rose sharply, climbing from 24 to 88 over the same period, while SMS scams plummeted by 75 per cent – down from 102 in 2021/22 to just 25 this year, as criminals switch tactics. Phone scams, meanwhile, remained steady, with 200 reported in 2021/22 and 202 this year. The financial impact of such cons reported to Advice Direct Scotland reached £861,384 over the past 12 months, with £338,758 lost in the past six months alone.
