So proud of this team and their spouses at this great holiday party.
We work so long and hard all year to imagine the future and pull it into the present as quickly and effectively as we can. It's actually a little bit of real magic and wizardry.
Every day we tackle questions big and small about how to balance the needs of short term tactical wins, medium term strategy and long term sustainability. We navigate the healthy tensions between building a valuable business for Uber, serve our riders and drivers with great features and delivering clear and meaningful opportunities for developers.
All the while we give a lot of thought to ensure that the work of each team member is as authentic and personal as possible - aiming that the time we spend together is not just an obligation, but part of the purpose of our lives.
They all work so hard and passionately. It's a honor and a pleasure to be able to do this with them.
I'd like to give a special shoutout to my partner in all this, Adam Rogal. The yin to my yang.
Here's to taking things to the next level in 2017!
