[SINGAPORE] Ride-hail and delivery giant Grab announced on Monday (May 5) that Alejandro Osorio has been appointed as managing director (MD) of Grab Singapore.

The appointments will take effect on July 1.
Osorio will be involved in the company's 'next phase of growth in Singapore', by scaling the new GrabCab taxi business to improve transport accessibility and convenience, integrating dining platform Chope's capabilities for a unified food experience, and leveraging GrabFin and GXS Bank to develop innovative financial products for Grab's users and partners.
'Singapore's openness to new ideas and commitment to public-private collaboration have given Grab invaluable opportunities to co-create industry-first solutions that truly make a difference in people's lives. That spirit of innovation is what draws me back to Singapore,' said Osorio in a media statement.
