A Baedal Minjok rider delivers takeout food [NEWS1]
Austin Kim founded Trendyol Go, a food delivery service in Turkey hosted on Trendyol, a Turkish e-commerce platform. Kim will be replacing the current interim CEO, Pieter-Jan Vandepitt, according to local media reports Monday.
Vandepitt was appointed as the interim CEO of Woowa Brothers after its former CEO, Lee Gul-hwan, resigned due to personal reasons in July. It was speculated that the resignation was a result of a worsened relationship with Delivery Hero, the German company that owns the majority of Baedal Minjok.
Kim also worked for Uber and Spanish delivery service Glovo before moving to Trendyol.
