How Uber’s Delegate Profiles Empower Executive Assistants to Work Smarter

Uber’s recent launch of Delegate Profiles is an exciting development for Executive Assistants. At Base, we recognize how this feature helps EAs support executives more efficiently.

What is Uber’s Delegate Profile?

Uber’s Delegate Profile allows EAs to book rides for executives directly. Key features include:

  • Booking on Behalf: EAs can book rides easily through their own Uber app.
  • Real-Time Changes: Make adjustments during the trip, like adding stops.
  • Expense Management: Charge rides to the executive’s account, simplifying expenses.
Why This Matters for EAs

Managing an executive’s schedule, including travel, can be challenging. Uber’s Delegate Profile makes it easier by:

  • Ease of Use: Booking, editing, and tracking rides from the EA’s app.
  • Flexibility: Both the EA and executive can make trip adjustments.
  • Simplified Expenses: Direct billing to the executive’s account.
Empowering the EA-Executive Partnership

At Base, we understand the value of tools that help EAs and executives work better together. Uber’s Delegate Profiles free up time for EAs, allowing them to focus on strategic tasks and relationship-building.
