Carwow Group has expanded its Executive Team with the appointment of Hizam Sahibudeen (pictured) as its chief technology officer and Rinesh Sheth as general counsel.
Sahibudeen will lead Carwow’s technology vision and strategy, manage the Engineering and IT & Security teams, and drive AI-embedded product innovation.
John Veichmanis, Chief Executive Officer of Carwow Group, said: “Hizam is a proven champion of AI-native engineering practices and data-driven decision-making, meaning he has the experience, vision and energy to deliver world-class capabilities as we continue to scale the Carwow platform.
“As our business continues to grow in scale and complexity, having Legal & Compliance represented at Executive level is the right step for the next chapter of Carwow Group.
“Rinesh brings not only deep legal expertise but also sound commercial judgement and a genuine commitment to our mission and culture. His perspective will be invaluable as we navigate the opportunities ahead.”
Sahibudeen succeeds David Santoro, co-founder and former CTO at Carwow Group, who built the original Carwow platform and remains a valued member of the Engineering leadership team as Principle Engineer.
He is a product-centric technology leader who joins with more than 20 years of experience in building scalable, secure systems and leading high-performance teams of up to 300 across the US, Europe and Asia.
Sheth has also joined the Executive Team having served as Carwow’s General Counsel since 2024, during which time he has built the Group’s legal function and led the legal workstreams underpinning several of Carwow’s most significant commercial milestones.
He is a senior business lawyer and has over 20 years of international legal experience having worked on and led complex cross border M&A and commercial transactions.
