Oscar Salazar
Employed by Uber from: 2009 to 2011
Position at Uber: Founding Member
Where he is now: Although there's some dispute about it, early Uber documentation refers to Salazar as a cofounder of the company. He and Camp attended business school together then built Uber's first prototype with another school friend, Conrad Whelan.
Salazar departed the company amicably soon after it launched. Besides being an active investor, he has launched other companies like Pager, which sends a doctor or nurse to you with a tap on your phone, and Ride, a carpooling app for commuters.
Curtis Chambers
Employed by Uber from: 2010 to present
Position at Uber: Director of Engineering
Where he is now: Before Uber, Chambers helped build Expensify, the popular online expense-reports startup, as well as contributing to open-source Drupal and Django. He’s stayed as the director of engineering since he came to Uber, though on LinkedIn he describes himself as Uber’s “secret weapon.”
Austin Geidt
Employed by Uber from: 2010 to present
Position at Uber: Head of Global Customer Support Operations
Where she is now: Geidt started at Uber as an overdressed intern and employee number four; she says she struggled for the first months. At first, her job wasn’t well defined, and saw her moving from handing out flyers to passersby to cold-calling drivers.
In the past, she has also been open about her history with drug addiction and recovery.
Geidt has moved up as Uber has grown, and this week was promoted to head of global customer support operations.
Ryan Graves
Employed by Uber from: 2010 to present
Position at Uber: SVP Global Operations
Where he is now: Graves previously worked in a database-administrator position at General Electric before landing a stint at Foursquare that he acquired by working for them for free after the company initially turned him down. He tweeted at Travis Kalanick, looking for a job, and the rest is history. Ryan Graves is still with Uber, and heads up global operations. His stake in Uber is worth about $1.5 billion.
Garrett Camp
Employed by Uber from: 2009 to present
Position at Uber: Cofounder
Where he is now: After cofounding Uber with Travis Kalanick, Garrett Camp created his own startup studio called Expa. Expa works with founders to help them build and grow their own companies. Camp's stake in Uber is worth an estimated $6.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest Canadians. He also cofounded StumbleUpon, the web discovery platform.

Domenic Narducci
Employed by Uber from: 2011 to present
Position at Uber: Software Engineer

Position at Uber: Technical Program Manager, Realtime Platform

Ryan McKillen
Employed by Uber from: 2010 to present
Position at Uber: Site Lead, NYC Software Engineering
Where he is now: McKillen heads up Uber’s engineering team in New York City, although his Twitter profile still nostalgically shows a cover photo of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.
Conrad Whelan
Employed by Uber from: 2010 to 2016
Position at Uber: Engineering Manager
Where he is now: Whelan was Uber’s first engineer and worked on “everything and the kitchen sink” after moving to San Francisco from his native Calgary, Canada. He built the sign-up flows that allowed Uber to actually have any users. After the Uber launch, he worked on optimizing the dispatch algorithms, and was responsible for building out a full product-development team in the Netherlands before leaving the company in May.
"Right now I'm focused on not focusing, but I am always looking for opportunities," he writes on his LinkedIn.
Rachel Holt
Employed by Uber from: 2011 to present
Position at Uber: Regional General Manager, US & Canada
Where she is now: After getting an MBA from Stanford, Holt decided to move across the country to DC to be with her boyfriend (now husband). She answered a job listing to launch Uber in DC and, 10 days later, Uber did its first DC ride. The market turned out to be one of Uber’s most combative and the first where it had regulatory issues. But Holt has stayed, and is now the regional general manager for Uber in the US and Canada.
Travis Kalanick
Employed by Uber from: 2009 to present
Position at Uber: CEO, cofounder
Where he is now: Seven years after Uber's launch in San Francisco, Kalanick is still at the company he helped found. Today he's worth $6 billion.
