#09 Luke Mackey – Bolt’s Strategy, Competition, Market Share & Improving The Transport System
from Kickoff Sessions · host Darren Lee
Luke Mackey is the Country Manager of Bolt, Europe’s largest mobility company. Bolt now has more than 30 million users across 40 countries and is valued at around $1.9 billion. Bolt has launched in Dublin with more than 1,000 taxi drivers and recently raised $182 million to expand its on demand transportation network in Europe and Africa. Previously to joining Bolt, Luke was CEO of Bamboo, the Irish mobile ordering marketplace he co-founded in 2017 while in university. The idea for Bamboo began when Luke identified a change in consumer behaviour for on-demand services. Our conversation focused on how Luke identified a gap in the market and how he has taken these learning outcomes into his new role at Bolt. We go into detail on the strategy behind Bolt, competition in the market and the opportunities to improve the taxi-hailing industry.
