Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber

About this episode

Dara Khosrowshahi discusses his experiences with food and family alongside his role as CEO of Uber.

Dara Khosrowshahi is known as one of the world’s most influential CEOs. Everyone wants to talk to him about leading a company as huge, and impactful, as Uber. So do I - but mostly, I want to talk about food: Persian cuisine, memories from his childhood kitchen in Iran, the importance of food when his family fled to America, eating with his father after six years apart, and with his family now.
