Carsome’s new execs from Capital A and MyTukar

Daily Newsletter

Hello there

For employees, it’s only natural to seek out greener pastures. The brutal reality is that all of us have bills to pay and aspirations to achieve, so when new opportunities come knocking on our doors - offering better salaries or career progression - it often makes sense to welcome them with open arms.

That was perhaps the case for several former employees of Capital A (formerly known as AirAsia) and MyTukar. A fair number of ex-staff from the two companies are now employed by Malaysian used-car platform Carsome, an occurrence that some say was not a coincidence.

THE BIG STORY

Capital A, MyTukar lost key execs to Carsome in 2021
The exodus involves junior and senior execs from across AirAsia’s marketing and tech divisions as well as MyTukar’s business development unit.
