Uber's head of communications quits scandal-hit cab app

Rachel Whetstone, once adviser to former Tory leader Michael Howard and friend of David Cameron, moved from Google less than two years ago

Uber's head of public policy and communications, Rachel Whetstone, has quit the troubled cab-hire app less that two years after it poached her from Google.

Her departure comes after a string of scandals for Uber, ignited by a tell-all blogpost from a former employee alleging numerous sexual harassment incidents.
