Imamkhan commented: “I am delighted to be stepping into the role of COO taking Alphabet’s operations to new heights, building on the great progress that the team has already made. “
The former head of remarketing led a strategic project across Alphabet and BMW Financial Services in the UK.
Expanding on her experience, Imamkhan said: “Having worked at Alphabet for more than eight years, I’ve held roles both in the UK and at Alphabet International headquarters. This, coupled with my background at ING Lease, has given me a strategic perspective across the fleet business and an in-depth operational understanding from Alphabet markets around the world. This experience sets us in good stead to respond to challenging market conditions in the UK.”
Imamkhan will take over from Clive Buhagiar, who had been acting as interim COO. Buhagiar will recommence his role as head of operational services.

The unique insights and extensive knowledge gained across the entire group will help me continue the great work already in place at Alphabet and help the business move even further forwards.”
Agata Stachaszewska, who previously assumed the role, will be returning to Alphabet International in Munich after three years with Alphabet UK.
