Dubai’s Hala appoints new CEO

Hala, a joint venture between Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) and Careem, has appointed Basil Hovakeemian as the new CEO, following his role as the director of strategy and expansion for two years.

During his previous role, Hovakeemian was responsible for the company’s strategic direction, helping bring affordable app booking to the city, and playing a key role in the company’s growth, a statement said.

Hovakeemian’s appointment follows top management changes at Careem and Hala, with former CEO, Clemence Dutertre, becoming vice president of marketing for Careem, and a board director for Hala.
