US-based rapid delivery startup, Gopuff, has announced the appointment of Bryan Batista as Senior Vice President of International.
Batista previously served as CEO of Booking.com’s Rentalcars.com business.
Prior to that, he worked at Tesla Motors in both the US and Europe.
Based in the UK, he will report to Gopuff’s co-founders and co-CEOs Yakir Gola and Rafael IIishayev. He will officially join the leadership team in March.
Yakir Gola, Co-founder and Co-CEO, Gopuff, says: “Bryan's deep expertise scaling companies around the world will be invaluable as we bring the Gopuff experience to new customers and markets worldwide.”
“We have a proven track record of strategic and successful expansion in the US and Europe. We are confident that with Bryan onboard, we are strongly positioned to continue to advance our global growth.”
Batista comments: “Instant commerce is one of the most innovative and influential sectors today.”
“Joining the pioneer of the category to help build the business in international markets is an opportunity like none other. We’ve seen how quickly adoption has risen in the UK, and I look forward to repeating that success elsewhere in Europe and beyond with this incredible team.”
Gopuff launched in the UK in November, its first international market expansion outside the US following the acquisitions of Dija and Fancy in 2021, with further locations launching in Q1 2022.
