Whistleblower Mark MacGann disclosed more than 124,000 documents detailing how Uber flouted laws, duped police, exploited violence against drivers and secretly lobbied governments in order to aggressively build its global empire. Mark MacGann, a 52-year-old Irishman, served as Uber’s chief lobbyist for Europe, the Middle East and Africa from 2014 to 2016 and oversaw government relations and public policy in more than 40 countries. He was tasked with managing the company’s chaotic global expansion, which was rife with violations of local transportation laws. In this episode of the Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks to Hubert Horan, an Uber and economics expert, about Mark MacGann and ride-sharing companies.
