Affirming Carsome\u2019s Ambition in Vertical Expansion across Southeast Asia<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mei Han, CEO of Carsome Certified<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

KUALA LUMPUR, 18 March 2021<\/strong>: Southeast Asia\u2019s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, Carsome recently appointed Mei Han as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Carsome Certified, the business-to-consumer (B2C) arm of Carsome\u2019s offerings.<\/p>\n

Mei is an industry veteran, having spent the last 10 years in the automotive industry. He has also served in China\u2019s financial industry, particularly in venture capital and investment banking. Prior to his current appointment, Mei was the Director of Platform Strategy in Carsome, responsible for product development and business intelligence.<\/p>\n

Carsome Co-founder and Group CEO Eric Cheng commented that Mei\u2019s appointment is crucial in Carsome\u2019s bigger vision of expanding Carsome Certified in Southeast Asia. This arises from the company\u2019s focus on vertical expansion from the consumer-to-business (C2B) to B2C model in 2021, as part of Carsome\u2019s natural growth progression.<\/p>\n

\u201cMei Han\u2019s new role will act as a further catalyst of Carsome\u2019s growth sprint this year. I am confident that his vast experience will give us a more holistic view of consumer demands in the new norm, on top of strengthening our leadership team to drive regional growth,\u201d said Cheng.<\/p>\n

As the CEO of Carsome Certified, Mei will focus on integrating and elevating consumer experience both online and offline by riding on Carsome\u2019s product, tech and data capabilities. He aims to build Carsome Certified into a full-fledged e-commerce platform that gives the best value proposition to consumers, assisted by other new appointments, namely Carsome Certified Director of Operations, Yuan Li Yu and General Manager of Carsome Certified Malaysia, Alan Cheah.<\/p>\n

“Carsome is leading the rapid growth of Southeast Asia’s used car industry, changing the perception of a traditionally distrusted buying and selling process to a transparent and hassle-free experience. We are in the best position to integrate the consumer journey and deliver meaningful solutions and positive impacts. I am excited to push Carsome\u2019s growth through the expansion of Carsome Certified, while introducing an elevated used car buying experience to the region,” said Mei.<\/p>\n

Carsome Certified provides consumers a used car buying experience that comes with peace of mind and quality assurance. Launched as The New Way of Buying Cars<\/a><\/span> in Kelana Jaya, Malaysia back in August 2020, Carsome opened another two Carsome Certified centers in Petaling Jaya and Cheras, with seven other outlets across the country currently in the expansion plans.<\/p>\n

Riding on Malaysia\u2019s success, Carsome Certified will be introduced in Indonesia and Thailand next month. In the coming quarter, Mei will focus on strengthening Carsome Certified\u2019s regional capabilities through operational excellence, as well as partnerships with established e-commerce platforms across the countries where Carsome Certified is present.<\/p>\n

In response to the increased demand and supply of the used car market, Carsome Certified\u2019s expansion further solidifies Carsome\u2019s proposition as a one-stop solution, offering consumers a comprehensive end-to-end service from selling to purchasing used cars. \u201cWe are one step closer to building a complete used car ecosystem. We are excited as this will unlock more partnership opportunities across the tech automotive industry as we continue to scale the business,\u201d Cheng added.<\/p>\n
