NEW YORK, June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veho, the post-purchase experience company revolutionizing package delivery and returns for the modern economy, today announced the appointment of three executive leaders. Jane Carpenter has been named Vice President of Communications, joining Veho after over a decade leading global communications at Wayfair. Sebastian Burzacchi will step into the role of Executive Vice President of Operations, with an impressive track record of scaling hyper-growth startups. Cara Ciuffani joins as General Counsel after leading litigation and consumer facing legal work for Equinox.
These appointments arrive during a monumental growth period for Veho, including its recent expansion into 11 new markets across the Northeast. Since its last funding round, Veho has tripled its revenue growth, and brought an increasing number of Fortune 100 retailers into its roster.
“Jane and Sebastian both have remarkable track records of success and carry deep e-commerce and retail experience. Cara joins us with an extensive track record in operations and risk management. I’m thrilled to welcome this seasoned group of executive leaders to the Veho team as we continue our rapid growth trajectory, and help brands solve major pain points in next-day delivery and doorstep pickups,” said Itamar Zur, CEO and co-founder of Veho. “More importantly, Jane, Seb and Cara are people leaders who care deeply about their teammates, and their personal values are a great fit with our human-centric culture. Their skill sets will be a force multiplier to the incredible impact that the teams across our company are already making.”
During her tenure at Wayfair, Carpenter played a key role in driving the company's brand-building initiatives and directing the company’s communications strategy leading up to and through its high profile IPO. Carpenter built Wayfair’s in-house communications team, established the company’s social media presence and built Wayfair’s corporate social responsibility practice.
“Veho is at an exciting stage in its growth journey as a disruptor in last mile logistics. I could not be more excited to join the team and build the communications function as the company transforms the way retailers and customers think about shopping, shipping and returns,” said Carpenter. “With strong momentum across 42 markets, Veho is capturing the business of savvy e-commerce retailers who truly recognize the impact of the delivery and returns experience on customer lifetime value. I look forward to driving strategic communications that further propel and support the company’s rapid growth.”
