Carousell Philippines general manager Raffy Montemayor with Karl Magsuci, the new head of the company’s car business units. Magsuci will manage a team of 25 and lead the strategic planning for Carousell.
To celebrate its seventh anniversary, Carousell, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing classifieds, announced a successful migration from OLX for its Philippine business unit and a fourfold revenue growth in 2018, supported by monetization streams in mid-2017, enhanced product features and improved user experience.
“We are very encouraged to see most of the OLX users successfully migrated to our Carousell platform. Every day, more and more Filipinos discover that selling on Carousell takes just a matter of seconds,” said Carousell Philippines general manager Raffy Montemayor. “We recorded over 250 million listings worldwide with 4X revenue growth. This proves that Carousell is meeting real demand and it’s more relevant than ever in the Philippines.”
Raffy also announced the appointment of Carousell Philippines’ new head of cars, Karl Magsuci. Karl has more than 17 years of management experience in marketing, brand and product strategy.
He has worked with top brands including Honda Cars Philippines, Inc., Ramcar Group (Motolite Battery) and BMW Philippines. Karl will manage a team of 25 in the car business units and lead the strategic planning for the company.
