UBER 

David Rohrsheim, General Manager Australia and New Zealand

Uber and the future of Australian cities. What's next? 

 
Uber first hit Australia's shores in 2012 with a team of three serving a handful of hire car drivers and Sydney's elite. Five years on, the app now serves more than 3 million Australian riders and some 65,000 drivers across 17 cities. In this keynote, David will talk about the journey from fledgling start-up to mainstay of city life, and give a sneak peek into plans for the next five years.


David Rohrsheim is Uber's General Manager for Australia and New Zealand.

David was living in San Francisco in 2012 when he met the Uber founders and agreed that Australian cities needed a better way to get around. After initially launching Sydney as Uber's third international city, David has since helped Uber expand to nine cities across Australia & New Zealand, creating thousands of new jobs for responsible car owners along the way. 

David previously worked at DFJ, a top tier venture capital fund in Silicon Valley, famous for investments in Skype, Hotmail, Tesla, SpaceX and Box. He holds a B.Eng from his hometown Adelaide University, and an MBA from Stanford University.
