Uber’s Kalanick Appoints Former Xerox, Merrill CEOs to Board

Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick on Friday said that he had appointed two new board members, challenging Uber shareholders who have asked a court to stop the former chief executive from naming directors.

Kalanick in a statement said that he had appointed former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns and former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain as directors in the face of proposals to dramatically restructure the board.
