MUMBAI: Zomato has appointed Rameet Arora as chief marketing officer.

With over 17 years of experience in the field of advertising and marketing, Arora will take over as CMO from this month, and will be responsible for Zomato's marketing efforts globally.

Zomato co-founder & COO Pankaj Chaddah said, "It's great to have Rameet on board. He comes with a lot of relevant experience, and we look forward to scaling our marketing efforts in potential markets as well as driving quicker growth in our existing ones."

A month ago, he had exited from McDonals where he served as a senior director of marketing and  menu management.

"It's great to be a part of such a fast-growing team. Number one on the agenda is to make Zomato a global synonym for food,” said Arora, who joins Zomato in the midst of its aggressive international expansions and extensive product development.

Prior to McDonald's, Rameet was Colors marketing head. Over the years, Arora has been associated with the top advertising and marketing companies, most notably Leo Burnett, where he spent over eight years.
