One of Silicon Valley's top black female executives, Bozoma Saint John, has left tech giant Apple to join ride-hailing service Uber.
Ms Saint John, who was born in Ghana before moving to the US when she was a teenager, was a marketing executive at Apple and has now taken on the role of Uber’s new Chief Brand Officer, the company announced on Twitter:
Her appointment comes at a time when Uber has been criticised for its management practices and company culture, TechCrunch reports
