The question which is still left unanswered is that who is going to run the company while he takes time to reflect and become “Travis 2.0,” as he wrote in a company-wide email?
The company is now left in the hands of a number of his direct reports, a few of whom are the C-suit executives. The people who have resigned or terminated in the last few months include the company’s president, Jeff Jones, the company’s SVP of engineering, Amit Singal, its head of finance Gautam Gupta and many more.
