Uber’s chief people officer Liane Hornsey resigned on Tuesday (July 10), amid an investigation into how she handled allegations of racial discrimination at the company.

Hornsey, who was head of HR, said in an email to her team at the ride hailing firm, according to Reuters and other media outlets, that her exit “comes a little out of the blue for some of you, but I have been thinking about this for a while.” She did not give a reason for her resignation. Meanwhile Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi sent a memo to staff about Hornsey, calling her “incredibly talented, creative, and hard-working” but did not cite why she was leaving.
