Digital River Taps from Within as it Appoints New CMO with Extensive Ecommerce Experience

Ted Rogers transitions to lead the marketing function to accelerate bringing new best-of-breed solutions to market

Digital River, the most experienced global ecommerce enabler for established and fast-growing brands, announced today the appointment of Ted Rogers as the company’s chief marketing officer. Rogers will report directly to Digital River’s CEO, Adam Coyle.

Rogers has been a key executive at Digital River for three years, serving first as vice president and general manager of MyCommerce, Digital River’s market-leading full service ecommerce platform for subscriptions, software and services clients. He then became Digital River’s vice president of global expansion and fulfillment operations, responsible for leading global expansion strategy and managing solutions for physical and digital fulfillment worldwide. In early 2020, Rogers took on the position of vice president of strategic marketing before being promoted into his current role.
