The co-CEO structure marks a return to GrowthLoop’s founding leadership model. The company was originally led by co-CEOs David Joosten and Christopher Sell alongside Rotio and Iftikhar. Following the January 2026 strategic investment from TJC, L.P. earmarked to rapidly scale distribution, the board determined that reuniting two co-founders—one focused on commercial reach and the other on product and AI—is the optimal structure for continued acceleration.
Rotio, who most recently led the company’s marketing and partnerships organizations, will scale the distribution of GrowthLoop’s agentic, composable CDP for lifecycle marketing and retail media networks. A computer scientist by training, he has been the architect of GrowthLoop’s partnership ecosystem and AI-first product strategy, building co-sell relationships with Google Cloud and Snowflake that have driven rapid growth.
"We built GrowthLoop to be the definitive platform for enterprise marketing on the data cloud—our customers and the market are telling us we got it right," said Rotio. "Our win rates are at an all-time high. The opportunity now is to put this technology in front of every enterprise marketer in the world."
Iftikhar, who has served as Chief Product and Technology Officer, will drive AI innovation across GrowthLoop’s platform and internal teams. He built the product and engineering organization from the ground up, including the first composable CDP and the new AI Studio.
"GrowthLoop is the most advanced agentic AI platform in our category, and we're just getting started," said Iftikhar. "As Anthony opens new channels and partnerships, my job is to innovate with a focus on causally driving outcomes with AI. The best distribution strategy in the world only works if the technology behind it is undeniable."
Under the new leadership, GrowthLoop will accelerate its go-to-market expansion while deepening its product and AI capabilities across vertical solutions for commerce media and retail. The appointments position the company to capitalize on its strong pipeline and landmark enterprise partnerships.
