GlossGenius appoints Christopher Cunningham as its CTO
With 20+ years of experience, Christopher will oversee technology for the product relied on by tens of thousands of independent business owners across the beauty and wellness space.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today GlossGenius, the best business-in-a-box platform for salons and spas, is excited to announce Christopher Cunningham as the company's Chief Technology Officer. As CTO, Christopher will be overseeing and managing all tech teams across the company, including engineering, architecture, and platform operations.
"We're creating a gateway for entrepreneurship, enabling business owners to succeed through a central platform that abstracts mission critical parts of their business. Christopher has demonstrated that he is a strong leader who can further accelerate our impact on business owners' success," shared Danielle Cohen-Shohet, CEO and Founder of GlossGenius. "With tens of thousands of business owners and solopreneurs already relying on us, we know there's a big opportunity to help them succeed through powerful software. Christopher has the passion and deep skillset to lead GlossGenius into its next phase of growth."
Christopher brings decades of experience from high-growth companies including Lyft, Soundcloud, and Huge to GlossGenius. At Lyft, Christopher incubated several business-critical engineering departments, growing many from dozens to hundreds of engineers. In his role, Christopher completely redesigned and rebuilt the passenger app, launched and grew the New York engineering team and spearheaded emerging parts of the business like Lyft Fleet, all of which have been critical to Lyft's success.
"I'm passionate about building products that help people create a livelihood independently, with a focus on new revenue streams that weren't possible a decade ago," shared Christopher Cunningham. "I was immediately inspired by what GlossGenius has built and their powerful customer stories. I couldn't pass up on an opportunity to be a part of what comes next, which includes solving complex technical problems with a diverse, smart group of people."
GlossGenius has more than doubled its product and engineering team last year, with plans to double the team again by the end of this year, making it the fastest growing part of the business. The company has hired top talent from Stripe, Shopify, Amazon, Squarespace, Uber, Google, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Bridgewater, and other leading organizations.
