What this move signals
Uber appointed Philip Martin as Chief Information Security Officer, announced in June 2026; day-level precision has not been established from available coverage. Martin previously led security at Coinbase.
One of the most consequential seats in consumer tech — Uber's security chief inherits both a global platform and the long shadow of the 2016 breach cover-up case that made CISO personal liability a mainstream concern. Together with Remitly hiring Jeff Lyon from the same company, June–July 2026 saw two Coinbase security leaders exit into major operator roles.
