Rithum have announced the appointment of Lou Keyes as its new CEO. The new role supports Rithum’s mission of powering third-party commerce for global retailers and brands.
Keyes, who joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer in June, will succeed Bryan Dove, who has served as CEO since 2021. As CRO, Keyes has implemented new growth initiatives that have further solidified Rithum’s position as a leading commerce network. He will continue to oversee the go-to-market organisation in addition to his responsibilities as CEO.
With over 30 years of experience in technology, Keyes brings deep expertise in driving client satisfaction, transformation, and revenue growth. He has an extensive background in scaling private companies and large corporations, including Fiserv, Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and Conduent. Notably, under Keyes’ leadership, Conduent successfully reversed a 3-year sales decline and doubled annual bookings.
We’re excited to announce Lou Keyes as the new CEO of Rithum. The board has full confidence in his leadership skills and his track record of fostering growth and scaling businesses. As a leader in third-party commerce, Rithum is experiencing great momentum with new products that have already been adopted by several retailers. We look forward to Rithum’s continued success with Lou and its ability to drive profitable growth for its customers.
