Good chance of it being Arianna Huffington.

What? Why? I looked her up on Wikipedia - she's an author and a political commentator?

I'm not OP, but Arianna Huffington is on the board of Uber, helping lead the investigation behind the sexual harassment report. NYTimes also has this (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/19/technology/arianna-huffin...):

> In recent months, Ms. Huffington has become the public voice of Uber’s board as the company has tried to overcome scandals over its workplace culture. She has forged a friendship with Mr. Kalanick. And behind the scenes, she has been a driving force in recruiting an Uber board member and executives.

Why would that qualify her to run it?

Question is whether Uber board thinks about it.

Do people believe that this PC circus can actually make a long term business profit?
