Uber board member resigns after sexist remark at meeting addressing sexism

In meeting on company culture, David Bonderman said there was 'likely to be more talking' when Arianna Huffington mentioned having more women onboard

The venture capitalist David Bonderman has resigned from Uber's board of directors on Tuesday, after apologizing for making a sexist remark during an all-staff meeting earlier in the day about reforming the company's culture.

The resignation comes at a critical time for the nearly $70bn ride-hail company. On Tuesday, the CEO, Travis Kalanick, announced that he would take an indefinite leave of absence and the company released the results of an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and a toxic work environment.
