TOKYO—Uber executives are traveling the globe to reassure regulators that the company is changing the way it does business, after a string of controversies hurt the ride-hailing firm’s reputation, its Asian head told Reuters on Monday.

It is also still in talks with Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp <9984.T> for an investment, said Brooks Entwistle, Uber Technologies’ [UBER.UL] recently appointed chief business officer for Asia Pacific.
