July 5, 2023 – SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Worldly, the planet’s most comprehensive impact intelligence platform, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Scott Raskin as CEO, effective July 5, 2023. 

 

Raskin joins Worldly on the heels of a successful relaunch, and at an exciting time for the platform’s growth. Worldly is already relied upon by more than 40,000 of the most iconic brands, retailers, suppliers and manufacturers in the world — from fashion to home goods — and Raskin is charged with leading the next chapter of the platform’s technology expansion, including new capabilities, innovation and automation, to help companies understand, report and act on their supply chain and product impacts. 

 

“The board and I are thrilled to have Scott joining us. Scott’s strong leadership, extensive SaaS expertise and track record scaling businesses make him a perfect fit for Worldly’s executive team and to lead the company to take the next big step in enabling businesses to improve their environmental and social impact more quickly,” Jeff Tannenbaum, Chairman of the Board, said. 

 

Raskin’s arrival at Worldly is marked by a distinguished career leading multiple high-growth software and technology businesses that have defined their respective markets. As a results-oriented and customer-focused software executive, Raskin has consistently demonstrated his ability to create value by instilling management discipline, fostering operational efficiency and cultivating a strong culture centered around profitable, sustainable growth, transparency and accountability. His track record speaks volumes about his commitment to delivering exceptional products, customer satisfaction and driving success.

 

Raskin expressed enthusiasm for his new role, saying, “Joining the Worldly team at this pivotal time for both the company and our planet is genuinely exciting for me.” He added, “At a time when businesses are making efforts to fully comprehend the ecological and societal consequences of their supply chains and products, Worldly stands out with its unique ability to expedite data exchange necessary for informed business choices and disclosures. I eagerly anticipate my collaboration with the Board and executive team to solidify and expand Worldly’s robust market standing in the forthcoming chapter, ensuring we provide unparalleled intelligence and insights to our customers promptly and on a global scale.”

 

Jason Kibbey, the founding CEO, will work with Raskin to transition leadership accountabilities over the summer before taking up a new position as Founder and President based in Paris. With compliance requirements and stakeholder demand for greater supply chain and product impact transparency both increasing rapidly, driven predominantly by the EU, Kibbey’s deep expertise in fashion industry sustainability will support Worldly’s mission to enable better-informed decisions right across consumer goods value chains, beginning with apparel, footwear and textiles. 

 

“As the fashion industry’s most comprehensive primary data source, Worldly can play a critical role in enabling accelerated action towards more sustainable practices,” said Kibbey. “We are committed to working with our customers and also regulators and stakeholders to support both compliance with any new requirements and deeper understanding of the role of data as an enabler of change. I am excited to support Scott’s vision for Worldly as the leading technology solution in this dynamic market.”
