Ground transportation provider Carey International has named former hotel executive Alexander Mirza as its new CEO, the company announced Monday.
Mirza will take the reins from Mitchell Lahr, who is retiring from Carey after being at the helm as president and CEO since February 2020. Lahr has been with the company since 2001.
Carey did not immediately respond to a request for a transition date, but in a statement said Lahr would "work closely with Mirza to ensure a smooth transition over the next few months."
Mirza has more than 25 years of experience "with organizations rooted in technology, hospitality, travel, entertainment and consulting," according to Carey. He most recently was CEO and co-founder of Mogul Hotels & Residences and had worked at Cachet Hotels & Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Hilton Hotels Corp., Starwood Hotels & Resorts and Deloitte, according to his LinkedIn profile.
