Carousell, a leading B2C and C2C consumer marketplace in Singapore, announced today the appointment of Jennifer Lim as Head of People.
In the new role, Lin will be responsible for operational excellence and talent strategy for the rapidly scaling organisation.
Lim’s appointment follows Carousell’s recent merger with 701Search. The company plans to continue its focus on accelerating growth with Lim leading efforts in scaling the organisation.
In doing so, Lim will leverage her experience with M&A integrations to harmonise operations and company culture across Carousell Group.
Lim was previously Chief People Officer at video-on-demand service HOOQ, and Human Resources Director (APAC) at Nike.
Her 20-plus years of expertise in organisational development, talent acquisition and change management was instrumental in building the HOOQ’s leadership team in the region and optimising its talent strength to set up its creative centre in Manila and engineering hub in Bandung.
During her stint with Nike, she led numerous organisational transformation efforts to support its growth objectives for their APAC Apparel office based out of Hong Kong.
“Today, we’re privileged with the opportunity to serve tens of millions of users across eight markets. We’re at a stage where we can really redefine e-commerce in a meaningful way, address overconsumption and make second-hand the first choice,” said Siu Rui Quek, Co-founder and CEO of Carousell.
“One of our greatest strengths now is having a passionate and talented team of over 750 who are deeply committed to our mission. With Lim’s experience in scaling talent, engagement, and synergy across complex global organisations, we can focus on realising the full potential of our people, and reimagining classifieds for our users,” Quek added.
