E-commerce firm Rithum appoints industry veterans Suzin Wold and Mike Vantusko to CMO and CFO roles

E-commerce specialist Rithum, formerly CommerceHub and ChannelAdvisor, has announced two new executive hires: Suzin Wold joins as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), and Mike Vantusko as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). 

This closely follows on from the appointment of Lou Keyes as CEO.

“I’m thrilled to welcome these extraordinary leaders to Rithum’s executive team. Their expertise and proven leadership will be invaluable to our customers, partners, and employees,” says Keyes.

Wold has spent more than 25 years in marketing leadership positions at Sama, Bazaarvoice, and Qlik, and previously held key marketing roles at companies like Rackspace, PayPal, and Procter & Gamble. She is also the co-founder of Blackhawk Network, a gift card company. 

Vantusko has spent the last two decades as a CFO for private equity backed software companies. He brings more than 30 years of experience as a leader in the financial sector, spending most of that time with public companies or private equity backed investments. Most recently, he served as CFO at MediQuant.

Keyes comments: “Rithum is committed to helping our customers achieve profitable growth, demonstrate product leadership and provide service excellence at every turn. With our strong leadership team, Rithum is entering an exciting new chapter that’s poised for growth and I’m excited to see what we’ll achieve this year and beyond.”
