“Amazon and its advertising business are growing rapidly,” said Rollo. “As brick and mortar continues to be disrupted, brands are leaning into Amazon for both distribution and advertising.

I’m excited to join such an experienced team of Amazon professionals at this pivotal time in digital commerce.”
Before joining Channel Key, Rollo led catalog growth and was part of the marketplace launch strategy team for Loblaw Digital, the technology division of Canada’s largest retailer. His role at Loblaw developed from an acquisition of Rollo’s previous company, Pricefalls.com, and PF Tech, a retail marketplace and technology SaaS company. There, Ryan served as VP of Operations, among numerous other roles over the course of ten years.
