Taxi firm Gett boosts management team with new global B2B lead
Gett, the global company in corporate ground travel, has appointed Erinn Leahey as Global General Manager of SaaS, in a move to further strengthen its senior leadership team.
The news comes after Gett introduced its new Generation 10 SaaS solution in November last year, offering corporate clients the ability to organise all their ground travel needs on one single booking platform, hosting a collection of local and global vendors, for on-demand ride-hailing, taxi, chauffeur and limousine services across 100 countries.
At the same time, the company announced a strategic partnership with ride-hailing firm Lyft, and more recently with Ola, allowing Gett to expand its reach across the US and UK respectively.
Erinn is an experienced commercial leader and began her career at the SaaS company Buddy Media, where she acted as VP of International Sales in New York. Erinn moved to Europe in 2010 and, following the acquisition of Buddy Media by Salesforce, went on to run various business teams as Regional VP in Salesforce’s Enterprise Business Unit.
In 2017, Erinn left Salesforce to establish the Uber for Business B2B division (‘U4B’) in Northern Europe. She was one of the first B2B leaders at Uber to build the UK business division. Most recently, Erinn ran the B2B SaaS arm at the Business of Fashion.
Erinn joins a number of Gett’s senior management in London including Gett’s Chairman, Amos Genish, Chief Financial Officer, Aliaksei Aneichyk and General Counsel, Evan Nacke.
Keren Fanan, Chief Commercial Officer at Gett, said: “We are extremely fortunate to have Erinn join us. She brings a wealth of experience in growing and transforming SaaS technology businesses and leading their expansion into new markets. At Gett we are committed to making ground travel simpler, safer, and more efficient, taking the stress out of corporate travel completely. Erinn’s appointment further demonstrates our commitment to bring together the best talent in the industry.”
Erinn Leahey, Global General Manager, said: “I am hugely excited by the innovative vision Gett is bringing to the corporate ground travel market and confident that together we can drive real transformation in this highly fragmented space.”
In July 2020, Gett completed a US$100m fundraising following strong investor support for its B2B strategy.
