Carrefour appoints Catalin Samara as director of Bringo International

Starting with January 3, 2022, Catalin Samara, Operational and E-commerce Director and member of the Executive Committee of Carrefour Romania, takes over the position of Director of Bringo International, having the responsibility to coordinate the international activity of the personal shopping and delivery service.

The newly created position comes as a result of the development of Bringo, a Romanian business concept, exported to four other countries, which will now operate as part of a global organization.

The company is now active under various brands in five countries: Romania, Argentina, Belgium, France and Morocco.

“I am honored to embark on this new professional challenge and to be even more involved in Bringo’s work. It is a service that I have always trusted and that has the potential to grow in all the countries where it is present, as consumers want to have flexible options for shopping and enjoying more time for themselves, no matter where they live. The Bringo model offers them exactly this benefit and, here, it has proven by the success achieved in just a few years since its launch. We will work together with the teams of the Carrefour group to take the activity of Bringo International to the next level,“ said Catalin Samara, the Director of Bringo International.

In four years, Bringo has expanded to 37 cities in Romania and currently includes over 100 Carrefour stores in all formats (hypermarket, supermarket, express and Supeco). In addition, it recently launched the fast delivery service of Carrefour products, in 30 minutes, in Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj, Timisoara, Constanta and Brasov, the service being based on the line of supermarkets.
