Peloton has announced a series of leadership changes, including the appointment of Charles Kirol as Chief Operating Officer—a newly created role that signals the company’s emphasis on operational efficiency and member-focused growth. Kirol will report to President and CEO Peter Stern and officially begin on April 14.
With more than two decades of experience in global operations and supply chain management, Kirol brings a track record of business transformation across both corporate and military sectors. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Global Operations and Technology Officer at iRobot Corporation. His past roles also include leadership positions at Sensata Technologies, Stanley Black & Decker, and GE Capital.
At Peloton, Kirol will oversee key operational areas including supply chain, information technology, and cost management. According to the company, his role is intended to help enhance product and service delivery while improving unit economics and operational execution. Kirol also serves as a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy Reserves and currently leads a team of 3,600 logistics professionals.
“With his extensive manufacturing and operational experience across both the private and public sectors, Charles has a proven track record of leadership that will be invaluable to Peloton as we continue to transform our business and work to empower millions of Peloton Members to live fit, strong, long, and happy,” said Stern.
As part of this transition, current Chief Supply Chain Officer Andy Rendich will step down from his role and remain with the company as an advisor through the end of Peloton’s fiscal year. Stern thanked Rendich for his leadership, stating, “He and the team he built for Peloton have been instrumental in guiding our supply chain through unprecedented challenges.”
Peloton also announced that it will begin a search for a Chief Information Officer, who will report to Kirol and oversee the company’s IT strategy and infrastructure.
In a separate leadership shift, Dion Camp Sanders, who currently serves as Chief Emerging Business Officer, has been designated as Chief Commercial Officer. The role expansion reflects Sanders’s oversight of key revenue channels including first-party retail, inside and third-party sales, bike rentals, international operations, and refurbished equipment. His responsibilities also span Peloton’s B2B division, Precor, M&A strategy, and broader business development efforts.
These leadership updates reflect Peloton’s ongoing restructuring under Stern’s leadership, with a stated goal to innovate quickly, expand reach, enhance service, and maintain financial discipline while improving member outcomes.
