    Are you familiar with David Bonderman? If not, you might now remember him as the Uber board member who resigned because he made a sexist remark during a meeting meant to address the company's toxic, misogynistic culture. At the meeting, board member Ariana Huffington said that one woman on the board often leads to another, and Bonderman apparently replied that "it's much more likely to be more talking." He apologized after seeing his fellow board members' horrified reactions but ultimately decided to leave as he does "not want [his] comments to create distraction."
