GLOVO, on Thursday, announced the appointment of Lamide Akinola as the new General Manager (GM) of its Nigeria operations.
Succeeding Lorenzo Mayol who has been reassigned as the Director of Brands for Glovo Sub-Saharan Africa, Akinola’s appointment took effect from July 1.

Our mission at Glovo is to shape the future of retail by creating a simple, fast and convenient experience for consumers who buy anything online and I am excited to be a part of the incredible team that will help deliver this goal.”
