Riskified, Ltd. (NYSE: RSKD), a fraud management platform enabling frictionless eCommerce, today announced the addition of technology leader Ravi Kumaraswami as President of Worldwide Field Operations.

Before Crownpeak, Kumaraswami was the Chief Revenue Officer at Lithium Technologies where he led the team in generating more than double ARR while reaching breakeven EBITDA, and he also served as the Senior Vice President of Global Sales at SAP Ariba, where he oversaw the growth of the business from $450 million to $700 million in revenue during his tenure.

“Riskified’s differentiated approach to solving eCommerce fraud with its machine learning platform combined with a network of the world’s largest enterprise merchants has proven to be an impactful, scalable investment for organizations around the globe,” said Kumaraswami. “The company’s 99% customer retention rate is unrivaled in this industry, and as the first publicly traded eCommerce fraud solution provider, Riskified is shaping the future of eCommerce.
