CEOs often lead to partnerships and strategy. I wonder what connections in travel this new CEO is going to leverage and how that will affect the uber operations in the short term, and the ridesharing product itself in the long term.

Uber's success has been about evolving a core product in an emerging category whereas Expedia is all about maximizing revenue from the existing mess of travel product categories.

If uber starts to retain customers with miles or try to diversify revenue sources, I think it'd be a bad sign. But, who knows.
