These leadership transitions support Rithum’s focus on driving operational excellence, accelerating go-to-market performance, and scaling growth through commerce innovation. 

Gregory Banning Appointed as Chief Revenue Officer 

As Chief Revenue Officer, Gregory will lead Rithum’s global sales organisation, positioning the company to further enhance its go-to-market strategy and deepen partnerships across its expansive commerce network, reinforcing its commitment to scalable growth and customer value. With more than 20 years of experience leading enterprise and commercial sales organisations across Fortune 500 companies and private-equity-backed growth businesses, Gregory brings a global perspective and a practical, results-oriented approach to sales and revenue leadership at Rithum. His career spans a variety of industries, including SaaS, technology, FinTech, retail, distribution, and manufacturing, with a consistent focus on building high-performing teams and driving scalable, profitable growth. 

Known for combining operational rigour with an authentic, people-first leadership style, Gregory previously served as Vice President of Sales and Channels at Service Express, where he led revenue strategy and execution for a $400M IT managed services company. He has also held leadership roles at Adobe, Capital One, Amazon, SAP Concur, TD SYNNEX, and HNI. 

Rithum sits at the centre of a transformative moment in commerce, and I’m excited to join the company and help scale its revenue engine alongside a talented leadership team. With such a strong foundation already in place, I look forward to working across our teams to deepen customer value and lead an organisation grounded in operational rigour and measurable impact.

– Gregory Banning, CRO, Rithum

Caitlin Hauser Promoted to Chief Financial Officer 

With Caitlin Hauser now serving as Chief Financial Officer, Rithum further strengthens its financial leadership as the company continues to scale globally. In this role, Caitlin brings more than two decades of experience guiding finance and accounting functions for private equity-backed and public companies, with a track record of supporting operational rigour and sustainable growth.

I’m thrilled to step into this role at such an exciting time for Rithum. As we continue expanding our impact and scaling globally, I’m focused on strengthening financial discipline and enabling informed decision-making to power our next phase of growth — all while contributing to a culture grounded in inclusion and progress.

– Caitlin Hauser, CFO, Rithum

Caitlin previously served as Senior Vice President of Finance & Global Controller and now assumes responsibility for leading Rithum’s global finance organisation, partnering across the business to support long-term strategic priorities and execution. Her leadership will help ensure continued investment in innovation as Rithum reinforces its position as a trusted commerce solutions partner.
