But it still comes down to
moving people from place to place in the 21st century;
Lyft sued Travis VanderZanden, who stepped down as chief operating
officer in August and joined Uber last month as vice president of
international growth, for breach of contract in a complaint filed
yesterday in state court in San Francisco.
VanderZanden transferred “Lyft’s most sensitive documents,” which
contained future financial information, strategic planning, customer
lists, private personnel data and international growth plans, to his
personal Dropbox account in the days and months before he left the
company, Lyft said in the complaint.
He has used the confidential and proprietary data in his current employment with Uber, according to the complaint.
Enter
eBay,
stage?...
VanderZanden sold his iPhone on an Internet site, rather than hand it
over to Lyft to make sure it contained no proprietary information, the
company said. Uber has denied that VanderZanden’s phone had any
proprietary data after he left, according to the complaint.
“Neither VanderZanden nor Uber explained why VanderZanden chose to
sell his phone in the first instance,” Lyft said. “An odd thing for a
high-net worth individual to do, it was likely to cover his tracks and
dispose of evidence of his misdeeds.”
