Pandion brings in Andrew Pease as Chief Financial Officer and Tasha Reasor as Chief Marketing Officer
Pandion, a parcel network designed for e-commerce residential delivery that was set up by Amazon Air founder Scott Ruffin, has added Andrew Pease and Tasha Reasor to its leadership team.
Pease joins as Chief Financial Officer. He was most recently COO/CFO at Happy Returns, which was acquired first by PayPal, then by UPS.
Before that, he was CFO at Brighter (acquired by Cigna) and Telescope. He also held senior finance roles at The Walt Disney Company.
Reasor, meanwhile, comes onboard as Chief Marketing Officer. She was most recently SVP of Marketing at Loop. Prior to that, she was VP of Marketing at Iterable and Alooma (acquired by Google).
She has also held senior marketing roles at OpenDNS (part of Cisco), UserVoice, and Overstock.
In a LinkedIn post, Ruffin said: “Tasha and Andrew are joining the best leadership team in transportation tech startups with Brent Cervenka, Patrick Dunn, Austin Luhman, Viplav Mishra, Albert Silva, Linda Pools, Jeffrey Petersen.”
“I’m thrilled to have them onboard and can't wait to see their contributions to growing Pandion's parcel logistics network.”
Funding news
Pandion recently secured a $41.5 million Series B funding round led by Revolution Growth.
Other participants included existing investors Playground Global, Prologis Ventures, Bow Capital, Telstra Ventures, AME Cloud Ventures, and Schematic Ventures and new backers Proof and Sentinel Global.
Pandion will use the new funding to accelerate the growth of its residential parcel delivery network, including building new technology offerings, expanding its geographic reach, and increasing delivery speed for customers like Saks Fifth Avenue.
“With this new funding and the expansion of our leadership team, Pandion is positioned to disrupt e-commerce delivery for brands of all sizes,” said Ruffin.
“Companies can no longer rely on just the national parcel carriers, but they also don't have the resources to build their own parcel delivery capability or a diversified network of national and regional carriers. They need an alternative. That's where Pandion comes in.”
