Wayfair announced Dr. Thomas Netzer will step down as COO by year’s end, at which time the company will further integrate customer- and supplier-focused activities with supply chain by moving current Chief Commercial Officer Jon Blotner to president, commercial and operations.
Blotner (pictured above) will supervise the combined functions based on an integrated organizational model, the company noted. He joined Wayfair in 2016 and has held a variety of leadership roles, the company stated.
“We have a tremendous opportunity to bolster relationships and deliver even greater value across our customer and supplier experiences with our world-class logistics,” said Niraj Shah, CEO, co-chairman and co-founder of Wayfair. “This integration will strengthen our decision-making and enhance our ability to lead in the market. Building on the momentum we’ve gained over the last two years to be at all-time highs in market share, I’m excited about this evolution and the role it will play in solidifying our position as the top destination in the home category.”
