Ride service Uber hires new CFO from Google Sep 3rd 2013, 23:38 SAN FRANCISCO | Tue Sep 3, 2013 6:09pm EDT SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Privately held ridesharing service Uber, which has raised more than $300 million from investors, announced on Tuesday it hired a chief financial officer and a head of growth with experience at publicly held companies Google and Facebook. Uber said on a blog post it hired Brent Callinicos, most recently treasurer and chief accountant at Google, as CFO. It also hired Ed Baker, previously head of international growth at Facebook, as head of growth. The company said it also hired Emil Michael, formerly chief operating officer at influence-measurement service Klout, as senior vice president of business. When asked whether Uber was planning an IPO, spokesman Andrew Noyes directed a reporter to a blog post by Uber chief executive officer Travis Kalanick last month, which discussed Uber's latest funding round and goal to become a groundbreaking transportation company. Last month, Kalanick said his company had raised $258 million from investors led by Google Ventures, bringing Uber's total funding to $307 million.
