Uber has announced the appointment of Marjorie Saint-Lot as the country manager for Uber for Ghana.
Marjorie has been with Uber since 2019 as country manager for Uber in Ivory Coast and will now be overseeing both markets. Marjorie helped launch Uber in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, the first Francophone market for Uber in Africa, which successfully put the city on the global map.
“We are proud of Marjorie's achievements in Ivory Coast, and look forward to having Marjorie take Ghana and Ivory Coast to greater heights. We are confident that her experience and knowledge will help drive the growth of the platform across West Africa,” said Frans Hiemstra - General Manager for Sub Saharan Africa.
Marjorie previously worked in strategy and development for Orange Cote d'Ivoire with key achievements in leading their external growth and diversification program. She has acquired more than 15 years of international professional experience in various sectors and with a recent focus on market intelligence and strategy.
“I am delighted to take on this challenge to positively impact communities and earning opportunities for Ghanaians. I am eager to work with stakeholders and policymakers to ensure that we drive our vision for urban mobility forward,” says Marjorie Saint-Lot, county manager of Uber in Ghana and Ivory Coast.
As country manager, Marjorie is responsible for managing all the operational functions of the business in Ghana and Ivory Coast, with a focus on growth, policy engagement as well as community engagement. Marjorie will also facilitate unique earnings opportunities for drivers - through both innovation and technology. As part of this, service fee has been lowered with increased trip fares across Kumasi to maximise earnings for drivers using the platform.
Marjorie’s passion for disruptive technology and business models made for Africa's sustainable development and a Master 2 in Economical and Financial Engineering from l'Universite de la Reunion makes her a perfect fit for the role to drive forward the vision for urban mobility in Ghana.
