In their new roles, Gelsthorpe, Sherman and Donohoe will work closely with the Cinch team to further accelerate brand growth through amplified sales, expanded partner relationships, go-to-market activity, and continued innovation in customer service.

As CRO, Gelsthorpe will drive Cinch's revenue growth strategy and oversee the execution of core partnership channels. His team will also deepen existing client relationships, build new business opportunities and pursue strategic partnerships across a range of industry verticals. Prior to Cinch, Gelsthorpe held a variety of leadership positions during a 17-year tenure with Assurant, a global provider of risk management solutions, where he was instrumental in scaling Assurant's Multi-Family Housing business into a multi-hundred-million-dollar segment and led the development and launch of Assurant's Voluntary Homeowners Insurance business. His previous accomplishments span across strategy formulation, value creation and execution, and he has successfully scaled multiple products across B2B2C channels.

A 17-year industry veteran, Sherman's responsibilities as Cinch's CMO include oversight of Cinch's marketing and brand function, including customer acquisition and life cycle marketing, brand management, external communications and public relations, and consumer insights and analytics. In this role, he will develop insights for consumer and business-to-business marketing strategies across all distribution channels, including DTC, B2B, Real Estate and On Demand. Previously, he was a founding member and CMO of Olive.com, an innovative Vehicles Service Contracts company. While there, Sherman successfully launched a new technology platform, both as a DTC subscription business and a B2B white label service for major automotive manufacturers.

As VP of Customer Experience, Donohoe will spearhead innovation to Cinch's end-to-end customer experience strategy, including service delivery, support and customer retention operations. His critical role ensures Cinch delivers a positive experience as defined by the voice of its customers, including superior customer care service levels, top-ranking customer satisfaction and elevated financial performance. Previously, Donohoe was Program Executive at Digital Management, Inc. where he launched COVID-19 resident care contact centers for the Maryland Department of Health's vaccination sites. He also served as Division Vice President and Head of Member Services for Transform Holdings, Inc., where he led Sears' contact center operations supporting repair services, online, retail, parts, delivery and membership reward programs.
