Carsome appoints new CEO to spearhead Carsome Certified

Carsome recently appointed Mei Han as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Carsome Certified, the business-to-consumer (B2C) arm of Carsome’s offerings. This appointment comes as Carsome looks to expand Carsome Certified in Southeast Asia, as part of the Carsome’s natural growth progression.

Prior to this, Mei was Director of Platform Strategy in Carsome, responsible for product development and business intelligence. Moreover, he has been in the automotive industry for more than a decade. Mei also had a stint in China’s financial industry, particularly in venture capital and investment banking. Mei's immediate task will be to focus on integrating and elevating Carsome Certified's consumer experience both online and offline.

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.

Carsome co-founder and Group CEO Eric Cheng commented, “Mei Han’s new role will act as a further catalyst of Carsome’s 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.”

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 in Kelana Jaya, Malaysia back in August 2020, Carsome opened another two Carsome Certified centers in Petaling Jaya and Cheras, with seven more outlets across the country currently in the expansion plans.

In response to the increased demand and supply of the used car market, Carsome Certified’s expansion further solidifies Carsome’s proposition as a one-stop solution, from selling to purchasing used cars.
