NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gympass, the world’s largest corporate wellbeing platform, today announced the appointment of Carolee Gearhart to the role of Chief Revenue Officer, and Ryan Bonnici as Chief Marketing Officer.
Gympass continues to see accelerated growth since the recent acquisitions of Trainiac, Andjoy and 7Card, and the closing of $220 million in series E funding. Following these milestones, the company appoints new leadership to further scale the business and secure continued success in line with their mission to make wellbeing universal.
The company provides wellness solutions for an impressive roster of global clients such as McDonalds, RedBull, and Activision among thousands of other businesses. Gympass connects its clients’ employees to over 50,000 brick-and-mortar fitness locations globally, grants access to personal trainers, and unlocks thousands of on-demand classes, meditation and therapy sessions. This year, Gympass will rapidly grow its user base as it continues to attract the likes of Fortune 500 companies, while expanding its total addressable market by launching a self-service offering to businesses with as few as 10 employees.
Carolee Gearhart will take up the role of Chief Revenue Officer, where she will be responsible for driving Gympass’ client growth, particularly as it looks to expand its roster of SMB clients and its foothold in the US. Gearhart joins from Google, where she was VP of Global SMB Sales as well as Global Channel Chief and brings extensive domestic and global sales experience at the intersection of technology and client success to Gympass.
“I believe in mission driven companies who are working to change the world for the better and Gympass is doing just that,” said Gearhart. “Through innovation Gympass can help defeat inactivity, and I’m excited to play my part in this journey. SMBs employ nearly half the workforce in the US and I am thrilled to make well being accessible to more people domestically and around the world.”
At the same time, Ryan Bonnici joins Gympass as Chief Marketing Officer, and brings with him a wealth of marketing experience within the technology space, including past roles with HubSpot, G2 and Salesforce. He has also been named to Forbes’ list of ‘Most influential CMOs’ twice, in both 2019 and 2020. As CMO at Gympass, Bonnici will be responsible for marketing, brand and communications, and customer experience as Gympass looks to expand both its total addressable market and product offerings globally.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the Gympass business. Over the past decade, the team has done some incredibly exciting things within the fitness tech space, and I’m delighted I get to play a part in the next phase of growth,” said Bonnici. “My focus will be both growing the brand and guiding the talented contributors on Gympass’ marketing teams across the world. Gympass wants to make wellbeing universal, and I couldn’t be more excited to partner with the team as we take the business to new heights.”
“We’ve had a series of huge moments recently and bringing on board both Carolee and Ryan is another example of the growth of Gympass,” said CEO Cesar Carvalho, Co-founder and CEO of Gympass. “The business is at an exciting inflection point, and we’re beefing up the team with high tech executives as we prepare to double our overall size. Both of our new team members have an impressive track record of working with small to mid-sized businesses and bring invaluable go-to-market experience. Carolee and Ryan will each play an integral role as we double-down on domestic expansion within the US and continue to dominate within the wellness space."
Both appointments bring a raft of technology and innovation experience to the Gympass team, at a vital time for the business as Gympass continues to grow rapidly following its $2 billion valuation after its latest funding round in 2021.
