Tenacity, determination and stamina, are just a few of the many adjectives that describe Michael Grimes - banker by day, Uber driver by night.
For nearly a decade this multi-millionaire has moonlighted as a “cabby driver”. And why, you might well ask? To steer one of the biggest deals around is why.

Grimes main job is at Morgan Stanley and he wants to be in the driving seat as Uber's investment banker when it inevitably goes public. And what better way to show his street cred than by getting behind the wheel, literally.
When the transport company lists on a stock exchange, he wants to be the guy that sells the $120 billion worth of shares in the company. No amount of client schmoozing, golf days and corporate trinkets come even close to Grimes’ endeavors to win this lucrative account.
As an organization that's driven our own byways and highways to find a better way, we'll gladly give Mr Grimes his dues. We hope his innovative tactics open doors for him.
