Uber for Business has unveiled a new tool aimed at enhancing the travel experience for executive assistants (EAs) and their executives. The introduction of delegate profiles on Uber for Business is designed to streamline the process of managing executive ground transportation, providing a more efficient and convenient solution for EAs.

According to Catherine Boccellari, an EA working with Uber’s Senior Vice President of Mobility and Business Operations Andrew Macdonald, the implementation of delegate profiles has significantly improved her daily workflow. Boccellari expressed, “Implementing delegate profiles has made a huge difference in my day-to-day workflow. Now, I can arrange my executives’ rides in a matter of seconds and know that it’s taken care of, freeing me to take on the rest of my day.”

The delegate profiles feature offers EAs a user-friendly booking solution, allowing them to request premium rides or reserve trips in advance with ease. Additionally, the tool provides price transparency, real-time trip visibility, simplified expensing, and the ability to support multiple executives simultaneously. This streamlined process aims to empower EAs to manage executive travel efficiently, giving executives the freedom to focus on their priorities.

For executives who are constantly on the move, delegate profiles take the hassle of ground transportation off their hands, allowing them to concentrate on their work without worrying about travel logistics. With options to request premium rides such as Uber Black and Uber Business Comfort, executives can travel in comfort and style, meeting their travel expectations seamlessly.

Andrew Macdonald highlighted the importance of tools like delegate profiles in supporting EAs and keeping them organized. He stated, “Catherine is a critical member of my team, and I rely on her to help me get where I need to be, when I need to be there. I’m grateful for tools like delegate profiles that can make her job easier while also keeping me organized.”

The availability of trips requested by a delegate may vary by market and location. The introduction of delegate profiles on Uber for Business aims to provide a superior travel experience for both EAs and executives, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for managing ground transportation needs.
