Dave Leech is a former Greyhound executive who joined the company as a baggage handler in 1986 and took the top job in 2017, retiring at the end of the year. Until then, Flex said Leach will remain with the company as a strategic advisor.

Cork van den Handel, Greyhound's former CFO, will also step down.

"I look forward to seeing the future innovations this new entity will bring to the intercity bus industry and our ability to better serve communities across the United States," Leach said in a prepared statement.

Flix was worth more than $3 trillion last year

Germany's Flix bought Greyhound for $172 million from UK-based FirstGroup Plc in October, following a $650 million G-Series funding round, valuing Flix at more than $3 trillion. TechCrunch says at the time Flix was exploring pricing, routing and timing algorithms for bus travel to help passengers find innovative, affordable and eco-friendly ways to travel.

Flix North America said it has more than 2,500 destinations in its network.

"With Flix North America, we can leverage the strengths of both brands and offer the best and most affordable transportation solutions," said Boysan. "Together with the existing team, we will push the limits and drive towards profitable growth."
