I nostri valori
Promoting age diversity
Raising awareness of the importance of building age diversity in the workplace at Uber and beyond.
Building community
Providing a safe space for Uber employees 40+ and their allies of any age to share their experiences and work together to fight ageism across the organization. We build community through events with external speakers, informal get-togethers, and events with cross-sectional ERGs.
Encouraging mentorship
Creating and encouraging mentorship opportunities to share knowledge across generations.

Deanna Slocum
Director, Compliance and Ethics
I work on the Global Compliance team within Legal and am responsible for programs (including training), processes, and policies. Previously, I worked in Legal to help the company implement the 47 recommendations contained in the Holder/Covington Report. I don’t feel very Sage (because I am in denial), but I recognize the value a group like this can bring and want to help in any way I can.
Eric Lipman
Senior Counsel, Litigation and Global Competition
I was initially shocked to discover that I qualified as a Sage upon joining Uber in the summer of 2017. Having now accepted my status, I hope to help make this ERG a valuable resource—and a source of fun activities—for its members and the Uber community as a whole.
Zack Train
Software Engineer II
I co-founded the Sages at Uber ERG to raise awareness about systemic ageism in the technology industry as a whole. As promoters of temporal diversity, we are the only ERG at Uber operating in the fourth dimension. My proudest moment at Uber so far was hosting the Sage “Jeopardy!” game I developed for the Sages at Uber launch party.
Traguardi
Events and initiatives
We host events, bringing awareness and driving discussion around our 3 main areas of interest: battling ageism, building age diversity, and encouraging mentorship. Our events are informative and fun. We’ve co-sponsored a financial wellness series with Morgan Stanley and a book event at Airbnb HQ on Chip Conley's recent book Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder, with so much more to come! We currently are planning events on estate planning, making the most of our Uber benefits, and exploring a broad array of Airbnb experiences with our friends at Airbnb.
