Uber Eats, an online food delivery service, has announced the appointment of Misha Ali, the country's experienced e-commerce and start-up professional, to lead its operations in Bangladesh.

Having 12 years of experience in the e-commerce arena, Misha Ali will focus on developing and spreading the Uber Eats' business across the country, said a press release issued yesterday.

"I am extremely excited to be part of Uber Eats - a company which is changing the way people eat food everyday across the world," said Misha.
