Ryan Graves, the first Uber employee, will be stepping down from his role as SVP of global operations at Uber in September, Graves told Uber staff in an email.

Graves will focus on his role as the board director, he wrote. This is one in a series of transitions in his role since he joined Uber in 2010. First he was a general manager, then CEO, then president, and most recently he took on the role of SVP of global operations when now former president Jeff Jones joined the company.
