Last fall, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick hired Jones to boost Uber’s reputation. Though Uber has long held its reputation as an aggressive startup. The company has been fighting recent controversies, ranging from sexual harassment allegations to Kalanick’s annoying behavior.

After a video surfaced earlier this year, showing Kalanick arguing with an Uber driver, the CEO admitted he needed leadership help, and announced his search for a new chief operating officer.

While that hunt appeared to threaten Jones’ role as second in command to Kalanick.

In a statement to Recode, Jones simply revealed that,

“His leadership approach is “inconsistent” with what he saw happening at Uber.”

In the meantime, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick issued a note to staff,

“After we announced our intention to hire a COO, Jeff came to the tough decision that he doesn’t see his future at Uber.”

Jeff Jones’ departure was first reported by Recode on Sunday. They cited sources claiming that the departure was directly related to the company’s amassing controversies.
