The appointment came eight months after Nguyen Thai Hai Van, the firm’s previous country head for Vietnam, resigned from her post to join Apple.

Osorio previously led Grab Thailand for nearly three years. In a press statement, Russell Cohen, group managing director for operations of Grab, said Osorio has “a strong track record in driving Grab Thailand to emerge even stronger post-Covid-19 pandemic” and experience in building “high-performing” local teams.
