Uber founder and CEO Travis Kalanick has resigned from the ride-sharing company.
He stepped down as the firm he founded in 2009 deals with a sexual harassment scandal.
According to the New York Times, a shareholder revolt made it untenable for him to stay on at the company.
“I love Uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life I have accepted the investors request to step aside so that Uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight,” Kalanick said in a statement.
Kalanick's troubles began earlier this year after a former Uber engineer detailed what she said was sexual harassment at the company, opening the floodgates for more complaints and spurring internal investigations.
