Singapore-based classified ad platform Carousell has expanded its executive team to strengthen its operations and leadership in Southeast Asia.

The firm has announced the appointment of industry veteran Su Lin Tan as VP of operations, while former RedMart COO Colin Bryar has taken on an advisory role. 

“We are always on the lookout for world-class talent who share our values and passion for solving meaningful problems with technology, and we are tremendously fortunate to have found that in Su Lin and Colin,” said Carousell co-founder and CEO Siu Rui Quek. “Their collective experience and proven track record in transforming organisations amidst complex digital environments will be invaluable as we power through our next chapter of growth. It is an absolute privilege and I look forward to learning from them as we continue to innovate classifieds in an AI-first world.”

Tan, previously deputy chief marketing officer and senior VP of sales strategy and operations at Singapore Press Holdings brings over two decades of leadership experience in digital strategy, marketing and the classified space to Carousell.  

Bryar will focus on identifying opportunities for faster growth and providing a world-class customer experience for users across the region.

Carousell launched in Singapore in August 2012 and now has a presence in seven markets across Asia, with more than 171 million listings.
