Leo’s shaping the future of mobility in Spain

Looking for a challenge that would allow him to use a decade of professional experience, Leo Fabra joined Uber in 2018 to help grow our platform in Spain. Since then, he has played a role in launching, scaling, and improving local products, and the “positive impact on people’s lives and daily habits is incredibly rewarding,” he shares. “It’s fulfilling to know that the work we do at Uber makes a significant difference in how people move and connect.”

“My Uber journey has been an incredible ride filled with challenges, growth, and rewarding experiences. I joined 5 years ago because as a global company, I had already been an avid user of Uber’s platform and was fascinated by its capabilities, which I had experienced while living in the United States. I was determined to play a role in bringing this fantastic service to the Spanish market and dive into the untapped potential, considering the significant influx of tourists and local users. I was also looking for a challenge that would allow me to apply my learnings from almost a decade of professional experience and my MBA. Uber provided the perfect opportunity to utilize my skills and expertise in a rapidly evolving industry and contribute to shaping the future of ride hailing in Spain.

I stay at Uber because of constant new challenges to solve and the ever-changing environment. No two days are the same, and this dynamism keeps me engaged and motivated. Witnessing our market growth and positive impact on people’s lives and daily habits is incredibly rewarding. It’s fulfilling to know that the work we do at Uber makes a significant difference in how people move and connect.

One of the most remarkable aspects of staying at Uber is the continuous learning journey. Launching new cities, for instance, is an extraordinary experience where we transform everything from one day to the next. Being part of such transformative moments and feeling the immediate impact is truly special and unique.

Lastly, I value the resilience and ability to overcome adversity that is fostered at Uber. The challenges we face only make us stronger and more innovative, constantly pushing us to find creative solutions to complex problems.”

“To me, Uber’s most recognizable value is Go get it. We are driven by hunger for growth, working hard, and rocking a winner’s mentality, demonstrating values of hustle, customer obsession, and meritocracy. Everyone takes ownership, fostering collaboration and innovation. This drive to excel fuels Uber’s leadership in the industry. Our passion and solutions-oriented mindset create exceptional experiences for customers and drivers alike. One shining example of this attitude is how we actively and continuously engage with drivers to understand their experiences, gather feedback, and improve our platform.”

“Life at Uber in Madrid is fast-paced, exciting, and marked by constant innovation. The region leads in various areas, including growth and progress through various initiatives. Our teams are always striving to improve, for example by optimizing routes to enhance the experience for all users of the app. We continuously launch new products like Uber Black, Van, Pet, and Kids, catering to diverse user needs.

Madrid serves as a testing ground for new use cases, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We pilot app improvements to better the rider and driver experience, staying ahead in technology. External partnerships with venues play a significant role, integrating our services into the local ecosystem.”

“Uber’s culture has had a profound impact on my leadership style, teaching me valuable lessons that have shaped my capacity as a leader. One of the most significant lessons I’ve learned is the importance of adaptability. Working at Uber has exposed me to rapidly changing realities, from dealing with different submarkets such as taxis and private hire vehicles to navigating diverse regulations in various regions. This dynamic environment has honed my ability to quickly adjust strategies and approaches to meet the unique challenges of each market.

Managing a larger team and being responsible for a hyper-growing business unit at Uber has also been a transformative experience. Our culture encourages a collaborative and result-oriented approach, and this has influenced my leadership style positively. I’ve learned to foster a team culture that values innovation, embraces challenges, and embraces a shared sense of purpose. Empowering team members to take ownership of their roles and ideas has been essential in driving success and ensuring a cohesive and motivated workforce.

Another crucial aspect of Uber’s culture that has impacted my leadership style is a relentless focus on growth and excellence. At Uber, there is a strong emphasis on constant improvement and setting ambitious goals. This has taught me to push the boundaries and encourage my team to strive for greatness.”
