Uber CFO announces retirement: 'This ride is coming to an end'

Brent Callinicos is the latest CFO to announce his retirement from a senior position in Silicon Valley, following executives at Apple, Google and Amazon

A week after Google's chief financial officer resigned to spend more time with his family, his counterpart at Uber has followed suit, announcing on Monday that his ride "is coming to and end".

Brent Callinicos's stated reasons for leaving Uber are not that much different than Google's Patrick Pichette, who announced that he was leaving his post to spend more time with his wife and to backpack around the world.
