After an internally planned succession, founder Niklas Östberg continues to serve as chairman and CEO of Delivery Hero. Activist investors sold shares, so a vote of no confidence and the planned replacement were not carried out. Uber intends to acquire Delivery Hero for up to €13 billion and has already secured a majority of the shares; the headquarters in Berlin and the workforce will remain at least until 2029. Delivery Hero has not yet made profits; Östberg now intends to lead the company into its next phase. » Altro su faz.net
