In the new role, Verheijke – who announced the news on his LinkedIn page – said he will help Carousell enhance trust around authenticity given that “billions of dollars in luxury goods are transacted” on the platform each year.
Verheijke added that he will no longer oversee the daily operations of Ox Street.
In October 2021, Carousell acquired Ox Street, an online marketplace for high-end sneakers. The classifieds giant said at the time that it would leverage Ox Street’s experience with fashion and luxury goods.
