Coupang brings in former Uber exec Thuan Pham as CTO
South Korean e-commerce big hitter Coupang has hired Thuan Pham as Chief Technology Officer.
Pham stepped down as Uber’s CTO in May as the company was linked with coronavirus related lay offs.
“While the work is never done, I feel comfortable hanging up my hat at a time when the Uber Engineering team is at peak productivity, we have built robust system scale and stability, and are well prepared to face the future,” Pham said in a statement.
“This has been a labour of love for me, and I am so proud of what we have done as a team.”
SoftBank backed Coupang is South Korea’s largest e-commerce company by market share. It is known for its fast delivery services, including Dawn Delivery which drops off packages ordered by midnight at customers’ doors before 7am.
