Khosrowshahi has not been officially offered the job yet, people with knowledge of the situation told Recode, but he is expected to accept. He was the third candidate in the running, in addition to Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman and former General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, who withdrew his name earlier Sunday.
