Philippe Auberger, country CEO of Lazada Logistics Indonesia, has resigned from his role at the company, he confirmed with Tech in Asia Indonesia.
“I have finished to build Lazada Logistics and let a young and talented team leading the business to its next phase,” he said in a statement.
Lazada declined to comment on Auberger’s departure.
Prior to becoming country CEO of Lazada Logistics Indonesia in 2020, he was the country manager of Lazada Express. A serial entrepreneur, he co-founded several ventures in the logistics, furniture, and hospitality segments before joining Lazada in 2015.
In January this year, Lazada laid off nearly 30% of its workforce. This came on the back of a series of departures in its Singapore office, including that of Lazada Singapore CEO Loh Wee-Lee in August 2023.
The company faces stiff competition from Shopee in Southeast Asia, with the Sea Group unit looking to increase its investments in livestreaming. In Indonesia, it will encounter intensified competition from Tokopedia following its recent merger with TikTok Shop.
