Uber cofounder and former CEO Travis Kalanick arrived at the New York Stock Exchange on Friday with his father Donald Kalanick.
Kalanick cofounded Uber and was the CEO until 2017, when he stepped down amid a string of scandals at the company. The move coincided with a personal tragedy in Kalanick's family.
In May 2017, Donald and his wife Bonnie Kalanick were on their boat in Pine Flat Lake in Fresno County, California, when the boat reportedly hit a rock and sank in mid-afternoon. Donald suffered moderate injuries and was flown to a local medical center, and Bonnie suffered fatal injuries."I miss her terribly and feel the hole that she left in my heart, I realize much more fully the gift she gave me, and commit to live it and express it in her honor,"Though some of the applause at their arrival on Friday was aimed at Kalanick's work at Uber, the appearance of Donald Kalanick alongside his son was assuredly an emotional moment.
