Russell Cohen, Grab’s group managing director of operations, has announced his departure after nearly eight years with the company.

He will return to Melbourne to become CEO of Pexa, a digital property settlement platform.

Cohen joined Grab in 2017 during its transition from a ride-hailing app to a multi-vertical platform and credited the company’s growth to its culture and values.

He expressed gratitude to the leadership, team members, and CEO Anthony Tan for their support. No further details are disclosed.

Grab, headquartered in Singapore, operates a super app offering ride-hailing, food delivery, and financial services in Southeast Asia.
