Venture capital firm Plural has appointed former Uber executive Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty as its newest partner.

The move coincides with the opening of the London-based firm’s first Paris office, expanding its footprint beyond England’s capital and Tallinn.

Gore-Coty, who spent 13 years at Uber leading divisions including Uber Eats and global mobility, said he was eager to help “Europe’s next wave of global champions” reach scale.
