Uber Technologies Inc. director David Bonderman said on Tuesday that he has resigned from the company's board following a remark he made during a staff meeting that was widely seen as offensive to women.
Bonderman's ill-timed remark came during an all-staff meeting Tuesday to discuss of how the ride-services company plans to transform itself following a probe into sexual harassment at the company.
Bonderman said in a statement that he did not want his comments to be a distraction for Uber, which is working to rid its culture of sexual harassment and discrimination.
