Former General Electric chairman Jeff Immelt has become the frontrunner candidate to become CEO of Uber, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation.

While the tension on the board of the car-hailing company remains high — due of late to an ugly lawsuit that one of its major investors, Benchmark, is waging against its ousted co-founder and CEO Travis Kalanick — sources said that a majority of the board is coalescing around the experienced Immelt.
