TM Insight hires senior trio to kickstart new Ecommerce practice

Australian consultancy TM Insight has added three senior professionals to its team.

The trio join the consulting firm as leaders in TM Insight’s Ecommerce practice, a newly launched unit which focuses on helping retail clients in the region build, scale, and optimise their ecommerce and omnichannel capabilities. “Having an online presence is now crucial for retailers’ business strategies,” said Travis Erridge, CEO of TM Insight, “and with our new practice we can better help our clients reimagine what success looks like in the digital age.” 

Mitch Bittermann has been appointed Executive Vice President of Ecommerce, based in Singapore. He most recently was the Director of E-Commerce, Southeast Asia at Adidas. In the role he helped the sportwear giant scale its online business across Southeast Asia and establishing its marketplace venture in the region.

Prior to Adidas, Bittermann was the Group Chief Commercial Officer at aCommerce, an e-commerce service provider in Southeast Asia where he supported global brands and retailers to go online. 

Nicole Scherholz Cipolla and Jan Becker both join as Executive Directors of Ecommerce APAC, based in Australia. Before joining, Scherholz Cipolla was Chief Commercial Officer at Zalora Philippines, an online fashion retailer. She has gained experience building online businesses, particularly in the consumer and retail sector, and heading up categories at major European ecommerce platform Zalando. 

Jan Becker previously was Vice President of Marketing at Central Group Online, part of Thailand’s largest retail conglomerate prior to his role at Zalora. He is an expert in brand management and digital marketing, having led the brand strategy department at Zalando during its evolution from start-up to listed company. 

“I’m incredibly excited to bring together a talented team with more than 50 years of global experience to help TM Insight’s customers across Asia Pacific,” said Erridge.

Founded in 2010, TM Insight is a specialist consultancy that offers services in supply chain management, property and digital transformation. In September, the firm acquired XAct to form a 110-strong pan-Asia Pacific player with offices in five countries.
