In its efforts to execute company’s turnaround, American e-commerce firm Wish has appointed Vijay Talwar as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
With effect from 1 February 2022, Vijay has assumed his new position, besides being a member of company’s board of directors.
In his new role, Vijay will focus on further improving Wish’s customer and seller experience and executing its long-term growth plans.
Wish couldn’t have asked for anyone better as Vijay comes with a rich experience of having worked as CEO of Foot Locker’s Europe, Middle East and Africa business. And that’s not all! He also served as the President of Foot Locker Digital.
Besides Vijay, Wish also recently hired Vivian Liu as the new Chief Financial Officer in its pursuit of a turnaround.
Wish’s founder and former CEO Piotr Szulczewski, while acknowledging that Vijay’s experience will be invaluable to the company, said “Vijay is a strong leader with a track record of leading complex multinational businesses through significant periods of change.”
Back in November 2021, Wish had launched Wish Standards programme, which applies quality criteria across shipping experience, customer reviews, refund rates, product quality and adherence to the platform’s policies.
Founded in 2010, Wish is a US online e-commerce platform for transactions between sellers and buyers.
