DAVOS: Uber Works Smoothly as Global Brand Thanks to Localization, CEO Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones14:48

0648 GMT - Geopolitical tensions aren't really a cause for concern for Uber's business, says Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of the ride-hailing giant. Even though Uber is a global brand operating in over 15,000 cities, it operates on the ground very locally, Khosrowshahi tells the WSJ Leadership Institute at Davos, Switzerland. "When you're in London and you open up your Uber and you get a ride, there's a London driver...and essentially the money flow goes from a person in London to another person in London." The money stays in the city, he says. As a result of operations being quite local, the ups and downs of one country's relationship to the other doesn't really affect the business, he adds.
