With the departure of President Jeff Jones, the problems for Uber is only getting worse

Things haven’t been going well for the ride hailing company Uber. It has become embroiled in one controversy after another in the past few months. And there were a few key people who left the company as well. Now Uber President Jeff Jones has added his name to the list of departures and Brian McClendon, VP of maps and business platform at Uber is also likely to leave by the end of March.

The two executives are leaving right after the departure of Amit Singhal, the chief exec of Uber’s engineering division who was asked to resign because he hadn’t disclosed that he left his previous employer Google amidst allegation of sexual harassment. Other notable execs who left the company recently are Raffi Krikorian, director in Uber’s self-driving division, left last week, while Gary Marcus, who joined after Uber acquired his company, left this month. Ed Baker, another senior executive and Charlie Miller, Uber’s security researcher left this month as well.

Jeff Jones had joined Uber only six months ago; he was employed at Target as a Chief Marketing Officer when he met Uber CEO Travis Kalnick at the TED conference in Vancouver. There was much excitement about the big hire and Jones’ role was to brighten the somewhat stained image of the company, he was also the president of the ride sharing division and performed some of the responsibilities of a COO as well.

There are conflicting accounts as to why he is leaving; sources say that he is quitting because the situation at Uber is worse than he realized at the beginning. However, the fact that CEO Travis Kalanick had recently announced that he is looking for a new COO to help out with leadership might also have contributed to Jones’ departure.

In a statement to Recode, Jeff Jones stated “I joined Uber because of its Mission, and the challenge to build global capabilities that would help the company mature and thrive long-term. It is now clear, however, that the beliefs and approach to leadership that have guided my career are inconsistent with what I saw and experienced at Uber, and I can no longer continue as president of the ride sharing business. There are thousands of amazing people at the company, and I truly wish everyone well.”

Brian McClendon however is leaving on good terms with a company with a goal to pursue politics and will still be an adviser with Uber. This was not an recent decision, he has plans to go back to Kansas where he was born and the exit from Uber has been quite planned.
