Cab aggregator company Uber is on a hiring spree; lately, the company has re-shuffled the India leadership team, hired Nelson J as the Chief Financial Officer and roped in Rebecca Messina as their first Chief Marketing Officer. In the latest development, the company has got Nikki Krishnamurthy as their new Chief People Officer on board.
Announcing her appointment on the micro-blogging site, the company tweeted, “Excited to welcome our new Chief People Officer, Nikki Krishnamurthy, as we continue to focus on building an inclusive and entrepreneurial workplace for all.”
