Former chief revenue officer and chief financial officer of Affirm, Rob Pfeifer, has joined Extend, the extended warranty start-up that works with digital retailers, as chief revenue officer.
The API-first solution company confirmed the appointment and said Pfeifer will “be adapting the playbook he used to grow Affirm into the giant it is today to help Extend grow to become the ‘Apple Care of Everything.’” His appointment is effective immediately.
