BIZ BUZZ: Changes at Grab, too

A new official is taking the driver’s seat at Grab Philippines—and it is someone we already know.

Now former chief operating officer Ronald Roda has been appointed as the ride-hailing company’s new country head.

He led the GrabCar business of the super app operator, allowing the company to expand across 200 cities.

The ex-country head, Grace Vera Cruz, is taking on the role of head of Grab’s regional corporate strategy. She was in the top post for four years, steering the company at a time when COVID-19 restrictions slowed down business.

“I am committed to continuing the great work and building on the strong relationships established under Grace’s leadership,” Roda said.

“I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support, collaboration, trust and openness from all our partners and stakeholders who have believed in Grab’s success during my tenure,” Vera Cruz added.
