A computer engineer from Universidad Simon Bolivar (Caracas), Venezuelan Orta also holds a marketing degree from IESA (Caracas) and an MBA from INSEAD, and his previous experience includes 10 years at eBay in product management, operations and marketing roles in Europe and globally.

“A key part of the strategy involves us investing in our product engineering capabilities and bringing greater innovation to our customer experience. Rafael brings with him a strong track record in delivering great outcomes for customers and I look forward to working with him as we make it easier for people to switch and save across our broad range of products.”
