TechInAfrica – Safety and security platform AURA has appointed a new face for its chairman, Alon Lits, who is a former general manager for Uber’s sub-Saharan Africa.
Lits holds an MBA from INSEAD and a qualified Associate of the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries in the UK. He started at Investec before employed on Uber in 2013.
“I am passionate about technology-driven businesses and wanted an opportunity to provide strategic counsel to a company that’s mission and vision resonates with mine,” Lits said.
“I wanted to work with a brand that leverages technology to not redefine businesses, but that use it to make existing industries more efficient. Aura is an excellent example of exactly this scenario.”
