Gett names Mark Oun CEO as Matteo de Renzi exits
Move comes after company sells final overseas ride-hailing unit.
Matteo de Renzi, CEO of Gett, is stepping down from his role and will be replaced by the company’s Israel CEO, Mark Oun.
The leadership transition comes as Gett has effectively withdrawn from its international ride-hailing operations, following the sale of its businesses in Russia and the United States, and, most recently, in England. The UK operations were sold last month to Lyft for $55 million. Calcalist has learned that de Renzi received a $750,000 bonus tied to the completion of the sale.
Last August, a consortium led by Leumi Partners, the real estate investment arm of Bank Leumi, acquired Gett for $188 million. The group also included Mizrahi Tefahot, The Phoenix, Meitav, the Australian Lieberman family, and the Klirmark fund.
While Gett no longer operates taxi services outside Israel, it continues to maintain development centers in Poland, England, and Cyprus.
De Renzi is expected to remain with the company in an advisory capacity for a transitional period.
Mark Oun, who has led Gett’s Israeli operations and is also the company’s COO, is credited with strengthening the company’s domestic position, including securing the tender to operate taxi services at Ben Gurion Airport.
Ran Guron, chairman of Gett, said: “Mark is a leader with a rare combination of strategic thinking and proven execution capabilities. He has led complex initiatives under challenging conditions and delivered strong results. His appointment marks Gett’s transition to its next stage of growth. We wish him great success and thank Matteo for his significant contribution to the company.”
