Washingtoner/10142648

SEATTLE, Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- REI Co-op announced today it has hired its first chief commercial officer and is promoting two executives to new leadership positions. Cameron Janes joins the co-op January 3, 2022 as senior vice president, chief commercial officer. Kelley Hall and Vivienne Long have been promoted to executive vice president, chief financial officer, and senior vice president, chief marketing officer, respectively.

"Kelley and Vivienne are phenomenal co-op leaders, who have helped drive incredible results for our business and our customers, while setting us up for an ambitious growth agenda. Cameron brings a wealth of experience in both physical and digital retail spaces," says Eric Artz, REI Co-op president and CEO. "These three leaders—alongside the rest of a talented senior team—will position us to continue our terrific momentum into 2022."

Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer

Janes joins a growing co-op. In his new role, Janes will unite the co-op's retail and e-commerce channels to help REI push the boundaries of how physical and digital retail connect and build a seamless omnichannel experience for its customers and members.

"The co-op has had a life-long impact on me. For me REI is synonymous for connecting with the outside and family. Growing up, my dad was a former park ranger, and our weekends and vacations were filled with hiking and camping—and many of those trips started at REI," says Cameron. "I consider this an incredible opportunity but also a great responsibility to get to help grow and progress an organization that is focused on making the outdoors accessible for all."

"As the co-op continues to grow, my role will be to ensure that growth happens sustainably—while building a seamless experience for our customers and members."
