Retail Insight, the leading provider of cloud-based solutions to optimize grocery retail operations, has added two dynamic leaders to its executive team. Richard Collins, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and Peter Rooken-Smith, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will bring fresh perspectives in a bid to accelerate growth and enhance Retail Insight’s financial and operational capabilities.
Paul Boyle, CEO of Retail Insight, expressed his enthusiasm about the new appointments, “We are delighted to welcome Richard and Peter to our executive team. Their extensive experience and proven track records in their respective fields will be invaluable as we continue to drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to our clients.”
Richard joins Retail Insight from Hokodo, a global private equity-backed buy-now-pay-later business, where he played a pivotal role in transforming the sales process and significantly increasing revenue. With a wealth of experience in driving revenue growth in both mid-market and large-scale technology organizations such as Linnworks, MessageLabs, CA, and Oracle, Richard is poised to bring a fresh perspective to Retail Insight’s executive and sales teams.
“I am excited to join the Retail Insight team and contribute to its mission of global market leadership, delivering cutting-edge technology solutions to the grocery retail and CPG industries. Trusted by the world's leading brands, I look forward to working with the talented team in achieving further growth and customer satisfaction milestones,” said Richard Collins.
Peter comes to Retail Insight from Evotix, a global private equity-backed, environmental, social and governance SaaS business providing solutions for workplace health and safety. Peter is a commercially minded, strategic, and hands-on CFO who has successfully led profitable investment and recapitalization strategies in his previous roles. Over the past decade, he has worked with enterprise and mid-market B2B SaaS companies, scaling them, building finance structures, growing revenues, and managing broad functional remits across finance, operations, HR, legal, and more.
“Joining Retail Insight is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a dynamic team that is at the forefront of retail innovation. I am eager to contribute to the company’s continued success,” said Peter Rooken-Smith.
With these new appointments, Retail Insight is well-positioned to continue its trajectory of growth and innovation, delivering unparalleled insights, and maximizing profits for its grocery retail customers.
