Grab appoints new managing director for Vietnam

Osorio, an American who has worked for Grab for five years, previously served as director for regional strategy and planning, operations, and most recently was managing director of Grab Thailand.

"Alejandro’s experience in building up business strategy on a regional scale and developing high-performing local teams makes him the right leader for the next phase of growth for Grab in Vietnam," Russell Cohen, group managing director, operations of Grab, said in a statement.

Under Osorio’s leadership, Grab Vietnam aims to leverage the power of the superapp ecosystem to strengthen its leadership in the country. The company plans to advance technology to help improve the efficiency of its partners, offering more relevant everyday services and ecosystem-wide benefits for consumers.

Osorio’s predecessor Nguyen Thai Hai Van left the Grab Vietnam managing director chair in April after two years of service.
