Grab on Thursday announced the appointment of a new country head for the Philippines.

In a news release, Grab Philippines said CJ Lacsican will be its country managing director, effective December 1, 2026.

Lacsican will succeed Ronald Roda, who will leave to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities after more than eight years with the company, including two as its country head and managing director.

Grab said Lacsican’s appointment is the result of the company’s succession planning.

From December 1, the company said, Roda will become senior advisor and board executive, supporting a phased handover into early 2027.

Grab said Lacsican is the second consecutive leader of the company to be appointed from within, following Roda’s own succession of Grace Vera Cruz in 2024.

Grab said Lacsican has been part of Grab's leadership team for nearly five years, leading Central Operations, Cities, Grab Financial Group, and, most recently, Mobility & Operations in the Philippines. Before joining Grab, she spent nearly two decades in country, regional, and transformation leadership roles with leading global financial services groups across Asia and Europe.

As part of the planned transition, Grab said it has strengthened its leadership team, appointing Alvin Ching, who joined Grab on November 3, 2026, as director for Mobility and Operations.

Meanwhile, it said, Anton Bautista returns to Grab Philippines to lead the Deliveries and Commercial business. He previously led Deliveries and Business Development in the Philippines before taking on regional roles in Grab's Corporate Strategy and Marketplace teams, and brings that regional experience back to the country. — BM, GMA News
