Facebook's Sandberg Won't Run Uber, But She Knows What It Needs

Uber Technologies Inc. is in the market for a new chief executive officer. And, as in any search for an important technology leader, Sheryl Sandberg’s name is on the wish list.

Sandberg isn’t leaving her job as second-in-command at Facebook Inc., according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private information. But Uber is looking to have someone do what she helped do at Facebook: bring the company out of its bro culture and turn it into one of the world’s most influential and successful businesses.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television just before Uber CEO Travis Kalanick was ousted, Sandberg said that all of Uber’s crises, many of which centered around a company culture that facilitated harassment and gender inequality, were "super troubling."
