[(Title)] Uber exec resigns following probe into racial discrimination.

Uber Technologies Inc's Chief People Officer Liane Hornsey resigned on Tuesday, Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi said, following an investigation into how she handled allegations of racial discrimination at the ride-hailing firm.

优步科技公司首席人事官员Liane Hornsey周二辞职，优步首席执行官Dara Khosrowshahi表示，而此时公司正在对其如何处理种族歧视指控展开调查。

The resignation comes after Reuters contacted Uber on Monday about the previously unreported investigation into accusations from anonymous whistleblowers that Hornsey had systematically dismissed internal complaints of racial discrimination.

而在此之前，路透社收到消息称这位于去年1月加入优步的CPO存在系统性驳回有关种族歧视的内部投诉的情况。

Hornsey is head of Uber's human resources department and one of the firm's top spokespeople on diversity and discrimination issues. She has been in the role for about 18 months.

Liane Hornsey是优步公司人力资源部门的负责人，也是该公司主管多样性和歧视问题的最高代言人之一，她担任这个角色已有大约18个月。

Khosrowshahi did not give a reason for her departure but praised her in an email to employees which was seen by Reuters as  "incredibly talented, creative, and hard-working."

Khosrowshahi没有说明她离职的原因，但她在电子邮件中赞扬了她，据路透社报道，她在邮件中称她为“有非凡的才干、创造力和努力工作”。

Hornsey acknowledged in a separate email to her team at Uber, also seen by Reuters, that her exit  "comes a little out of the blue for some of you, but I have been thinking about this for a while."  She also gave no reason for her resignation.

Hornsey在另一封给优步团队的电子邮件中承认，她的退出“对某些人来说有些突然，但是我一直在考虑这个问题。”她也没有说明她辞职的理由。
