Salle Yoo, chief legal officer and first general counsel to Uber Technologies Inc., is making plans to leave the company.

Corporate Counsel obtained an email sent by Yoo to her legal team confirming earlier reports that she is stepping away from the San Francisco-based ride-hailing giant.

“After 1,892 days (!) here, the idea of having dinner without my phone on the table, or a day that stays unplugged certainly sounded appealing,” wrote Yoo, explaining that she began thinking about leaving Uber last spring. “And of course like all builders, the idea of building something new from the ground up sounds exciting.”
