Simon Debono has called time on his career at eCabs after serving as Chief Officer – Marketing & Business Development at the ride-hailing company for more than four years.

He made the announcement on Monday, noting that eCabs was his home for “four and a half challenging, yet amazing years.”

“Four and a half years sharing some fantastic experiences and success with a highly committed, combative, and the most resilient team that is phased by nothing and never backs down,” he added.

Mr Debono thanked Co-Founders Matthew Bezzina and Andrew Bezzina for giving him the opportunity to be part of the company’s move towards internationalisation, its successes, and for making him feel “valued and respected,” while also enabling him to have opportunities for personal growth.

“I am grateful for the many meaningful relationships that have been forged with too long a list of esteemed colleagues to name them all. It’s been an honour to work with all of you,” he said.

While Mr Debono did not share any details about his next venture, he remarked that it is now time for him to “turn a new leaf” in his career, and he is “very excited for what lies ahead in this next chapter.”

Prior to his time at eCabs, Mr Debono had a decade of experience as Director – Brand Strategy at Switch, and was also Head of Marketing at both GlobalCapital plc (now LifeStar Insurance) and Miller Distributors.

He holds a Master’s degree in Marketing from University of the West of England, as well as a Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing from the Digital Marketing Institute.
