Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ETSY) is a prominent online marketplace that connects creative buyers and sellers worldwide. Known for its mission to "Keep Commerce Human," Etsy also owns Depop, a fashion resale marketplace. The company recently announced a significant leadership change with the appointment of Rafe Colburn as the new Chief Product and Technology Officer, effective September 8, 2025.
Colburn, who is currently the Chief Technology Officer, will now oversee both product and engineering organizations. He will report to Kruti Patel Goyal, Etsy's President and Chief Growth Officer. This transition follows the departure of Nick Daniel, the former Chief Product Officer, who will leave on September 5, 2025, but will remain in an advisory role until October. Kruti Patel Goyal expressed confidence in Colburn's ability to enhance the shopping experience on Etsy. Colburn plans to leverage AI and emerging technologies to make the shopping experience more personal and intuitive. His previous roles, including Chief Product and Technology Officer at Depop and Vice President of Engineering at Etsy, have equipped him with the skills needed to drive Etsy's growth.
