HungerStation announced on Monday the appointment of Ali Aldamanhori as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective from 30 September 2023. Ali has served as Chief Operating Officer of the company for almost two years, and previously managed logistics and quick commerce in the MENA region for HungerStation’s parent company, Delivery Hero since 2019. The announcement follows the departure of Assad Numan, HungerStation’s previous CEO, after three years in the role. Under the guidance of Assad and alongside the rest of the management team, the team grew the company by 2.5x and maintained its position as the leading delivery service in Saudi Arabia. Assad will be stepping down to seek new opportunities. Pieter-Jan van Depitte, COO of Delivery Hero, said, “Assad’s leadership has taken HungerStation to incredible heights, enabling the company to become a center of innovation and excellence in Saudi Arabia’s startup scene. We are deeply grateful for his work and wish him all the best in his next chapter. We are now excited to welcome Ali, whose operational and commercial expertise and deep local knowledge will be key to the next stage of HungerStation’s journey. We are very excited to continue investing in HungerStation and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with Ali at the helm.” Ali Aldamanhori, CEO of HungerStation, said, “HungerStation was one of the first food delivery platforms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and has carved a reputation for being both dynamic and deeply focused on the needs of its customers. It is an honor to be asked to step into this role, and I am very grateful to the team at Delivery Hero for their trust. The HungerStation team worked to achieve incredible things under Assad, and we are all thankful for his steadfast leadership. Now, we are excited to continue on our journey, break new boundaries and explore new opportunities for innovation so we can play our part in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. We’re just getting started.” Given his close ties to HungerStation’s parent company, Delivery Hero, Ali’s appointment will open the door to even greater collaboration with the Delivery Hero Group, a global network of more than a dozen restaurant delivery and quick commerce brands. The closer relationship will enable all brands to share expertise and innovative developments, collectively building the gold standard for local delivery services around the world.
