Rowe to Drive Adoption of the Retail Industry’s Leading Voice of Consumer Platform for Product Development, Merchandising, and Consumer Insights Teams, Further Enable Brand Partner Success
MakerSights, the Voice of Consumer platform purpose-built for consumer-obsessed retail brands, welcomes Alex Rowe to its senior executive leadership team as Senior Vice President of Revenue. As the head of Sales, Implementation, Professional Services, and Customer Success, Rowe will accelerate MakerSights’ trajectory and deepen relationships with retail brands to increase the adoption of modern product-to-market tools and processes that drive category strategy and boost margins by facilitating consumer obsession throughout the brand.
“The retail industry is ripe with opportunity for new transformative technology and MakerSights has already proven itself to be invaluable to many of the most successful brands around the globe,” said Rowe. “I’m thrilled to join MakerSights at this stage when we are just beginning to redefine how products are made and brought to market. Perhaps even more exciting, though, is that I am surrounded by such a curious, customer-focused team driven not by ego, but by a mission to mitigate the retail industry’s impact on climate change while simultaneously addressing some of retail’s greatest challenges by giving consumers a voice in the product development process. I am looking forward to scaling this amazing team that is so passionate about what they do and the brands that they work with; it is no wonder that they’ve quickly earned the trust of our customers and respect from the industry at large.”

With more than two decades of success in sales leadership, Rowe’s experience working with retail powerhouses, like Amazon and Procter & Gamble, has given him hard-won insight into the problems many brands face today.

Alex’s impressive track record comes as much from expanding current partnerships as creating new ones, making him the ideal person to lead all of our customer-facing teams.”
