Will Davies is the Co-Founder and CEO of Uber Carshare, previously known as Car Next Door. He played a pivotal role in developing and leading Car Next Door, an innovative Australian car-sharing platform that connects car owners with those in need of a vehicle. Under his leadership, the company became a significant player in the peer-to-peer car-sharing market.
In 2021, Car Next Door was acquired by Uber, and the platform was rebranded as Uber Carshare. This acquisition integrated the car-sharing model with Uber’s broader mobility services, expanding Uber’s offerings and advancing its goals in sustainable transportation and resource optimization.
