Shervin Pishevar takes immediate leave of absence from Hyperloop One and Sherpa

>Shervin Pishevar takes immediate leave of absence from Hyperloop One and Sherpa Capital

>Shervin Pishevar, co-founder of Sherpa Capital and co-founder of Hyperloop One, is taking an immediate leave of absence from both companies, as well as from his board responsibilities at Sherpa’s portfolio companies.

>Pishevar, in his statement via a lawyer, said it was his idea to take a leave of absence and that the decision was not made lightly. Pishevar’s hope is that his absence “will eliminate any potential distraction to the great and important work being done at these companies.”

This comes about a week after multiple women accused Pishevar of sexual misconduct.

Another person accused of sexual harassment. I wonder if there are any statistics kept on number of lawsuits filed in a quarter, because I believe this quarter may take the cake.
