After announcing last month that he was leaving OK Mobility, Raúl García (above) has confirmed he has joined Drivalia Spain as CEO. Both of these companies offer leasing and short- and long-term car rentals, as well as used car sales and subscriptions.
OK Mobility is headquartered in Palma de Majorca in the Balearic Islands, while Drivalia is based in Italy. Last year, the latter launched used-car subscriptions on Amazon.com in Spain.
García joined OK Mobility less than two years ago as general manager of procurement and remarketing.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve recently had the honor of taking on the role of CEO of Drivalia Spain, the mobility company of Crédit Agricole Auto Group,” García wrote in a LinkedIn post. (translated using Google)
“This marks a very special moment for me — not only do I join an outstanding team of mobility experts united by the ambition to revolutionize the sector, but it also feels like coming home. I had the privilege of leading this company when it first began its journey within the group, and rejoining today feels both inspiring and deeply rewarding.”
“Over the past five years, our industry has faced extraordinary challenges — from a global pandemic and supply chain crises to an imperfect electrification process, a sharp drop in residual values and the successful arrival of Chinese automotive giants in Spain. Each of these moments has brought both risks and opportunities, shaping us as professionals and pushing us to evolve faster than ever.”
“Raúl García’s career in the automotive sector is extensive… With a degree in law from the Complutense University of Madrid and a master’s in automotive management from the Politecnico di Milano Business School, García has held various leadership roles in numerous companies in the sector,” Renting-automocion.com reported.
He has worked for Hertz, Fiat and Leasys, among others.
García told the website: “It is an honor to announce my return to Drivalia, where I am excited to join a team of highly skilled professionals specializing in mobility. Together, we will drive growth and the development of innovative solutions and products backed by the strength of one of the world’s largest banking groups.”
