Etsy Expands Executive Team With New Operations And Human Resources Head

Online marketplace Etsy is looking to expand its executive leadership team with the appointment of Raina Moskowitz as its chief operating officer (COO).

In her new position, Moskowitz will further define Etsy’s strategic direction and oversee global marketplace services. As the COO, Moskowitz will lead payments and fulfillment — two critical, revenue-driving functions — while continuing to oversee Etsy’s member services, trust and safety, strategy and operations and impact teams.

“These exciting changes to our executive team are representative of Etsy’s significant success and scale and our conviction in our go-forward opportunities. Raina’s expanded role will help us continue to deliver world-class customer experiences and cement Etsy as a trusted brand for our global community,” said Josh Silverman, chief executive officer at Etsy.

“She has championed some of our most critical initiatives through periods of unprecedented growth and change. Her leadership style has motivated and inspired teams across the company to perform at their best.”

In addition to Moskowitz’s appointment, Etsy has also appointed Kim Seymour as chief human resources officer effective April 26, 2022. Prior to joining Etsy, Seymour most recently served as chief people officer of WW International.

In her newly created role, Seymour will focus on building a high-performing, equitable and inclusive culture at Etsy and shape how Etsy approaches the future of work. Both Etsy’s human resources and workplace teams will report to Seymour.

Moskowitz and Seymour are both based at Etsy’s Brooklyn, NY headquarters and will report to Silverman.
