So at Uber, we saw almost every city as its own startup. The right team that we were hiring for three roles. One was we sent in a launcher and the launcher would be responsible for hiring a team. In a general market, we would want a general manager who acted as like the CEO of the city, overseeing both driver and rider. And then the

The second role that we hired was an operations manager that would oversee sort of the driver area of the operation and be responsible for growing that. And we'd also work on getting a marketing manager that would oversee the rider side, BD, partnerships, building out the early grassroots efforts in the community.

Harry, it's a crazy story. So I finished up school in 2011. And when I finished up school, there were really only two things that people did. They either went to investment banking or they went to consulting. I chose consulting. And very early on, I realized that it wasn't for me. probably on like week three.

But the silver lining of the experience was on the weekends, I could go out and fly to San Francisco as long as I was back at the client site on Monday morning. So this was 2011, 2012, and I was going out and meeting companies like Airbnb, Square fairly early, along with like 50 other companies. But nothing really clicked until I was in Chicago one night.

I was trying to get to a work dinner, and I was trying to find a taxi. It was raining. And I had heard about this app where if you press the button, you can get a ride. So I downloaded the app. And two minutes later, my first Uber showed up. It was an Escalade. And I was immediately in love. Absolutely magical experience.

So that night was working on a deck pretty late at night, probably wrapped around midnight or 1 a.m. And had this Jerry Maguire moment where I was like, huh, I need to be a part of this Uber thing. What's the most simple thing to do? So I decided to email Travis at Uber.com, not thinking that I would hear anything. And I got an email back.
