Dara Khosrowshahi

Khosrowshahi was born in Tehran into the prominent Khosrowshahi family, associated with the Alborz Investment Company. After the Iranian revolution began, the family fled Iran in 1978 by way of southern France and settled with relatives in Tarrytown, New York. He was educated at the Hackley School and took a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Brown University in 1991. ¹

Khosrowshahi began his career at the investment bank Allen & Company, then moved to IAC, where he rose to chief financial officer. He became chief executive of Expedia in August 2005 and led it for twelve years. In August 2017 he was chosen to succeed Travis Kalanick as chief executive of Uber, the ride-hailing and delivery company, steering it to its 2019 stock-market listing and through its expansion into food delivery. ¹

He married Sydney Shapiro in 2012; they have twin sons. ¹

His faith is recorded as unknown. No source read names any religious affiliation for him: the English, Arabic and Persian articles are silent on religion, and Wikidata carries no religion value. His Iranian birth, his family's flight from Iran in 1978 and his Persian name are biography, not attestation. ^{1 2 3 4}
