QUT Business Leaders' Forum Webcast - Susan Anderson, Uber

A proven global leader, Susan Anderson has led Uber across Australia and New Zealand for the last two years and recently took on an expanded leadership role to include North Asia. Prior to joining Uber, Susan inspired some of the world's most innovative teams in leadership roles at Amazon and Bain & Co.

The massive growth of Uber in the ANZ region, under Susan’s leadership, has been remarkable. Australia and New Zealand have embraced ride sharing like few other countries. When Uber was first introduced to the market, it was seen by many as a taxi alternative. Today, they are viewed as a platform for much more, from e-bikes to public transport, and almost 4 million locals regularly choose to share rides with Uber. Susan will speak about the unique challenges and opportunities she has experienced leading Uber in this region over the past two years, her journey to this leadership role and the impact that she is making at one of the world’s great tech companies. She will talk about how to embrace 'scary ideas', and share her priorities for Uber in this region, including helping shape the future of Australian cities.

It'll be a pleasure to welcome back one of Australia’s leading journalists, Kerry O’Brien, as Moderator for the second QUT Business Leaders’ Forum event for 2020.
