Uber employees are relieved to finally have a new CEO. At his first all-hands meeting on Aug. 30, Dara Khosrowshahi made a gentle but sly dig at the protracted search process that had pitted him against corporate icons Jeff Immelt of General Electric and Meg Whitman of Hewlett Packard.

“A week ago, I did not think I was going to get the job, so this is pretty freaking cool,” Khosrowshahi said to laughter, and added, “Based on everything I read!” which prompted more laughter, cheers, and applause.
