CDC has appointed a new CEO
|
Transport operator ComfortDelGro (CDC) has announced it is re-hiring a former executive to become the company’s newest CEO for Europe.
Former executive Damian Rowbotham will return to CDC as CEO to oversee the bus, coach, taxi and private-hire division in both the UK and Ireland from September this year.
The announcement follows CDC previously choosing to bring on experts in rail tendering for its wholly owned subsidiary ComfortDelGro Transit.
This involved appointing new heads of rail operations, maintenance and customer experience.
CDC says the hires a part of an aggressive expansion strategy to join more international tenders, particularly in Europe.
Rowbotham returns to CDC after being at Stagecoach Group in London. Before this, he was the group finance director for CDC’s UK and Ireland branch from 1999 to 2012 and OO of Australian subsidiary Cabcharge from 2014 to 2019.
CDC group deputy chief executive officer Cheng Siak Kian says the company’s recent international bids have had some success, with this appointment continuing the movements for the company.
