Peloton Interactive Inc. has made changes to its executive leadership, appointing veteran marketer Megan Imbres as chief marketing officer and promoting Francis Shanahan to the newly created role of chief technology officer.
The executive leadership changes reflect Peloton’s strategy to expand its enterprise business and invest in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven product development.
The leadership shifts come as Peloton accelerates growth in Peloton for Business, its B2B initiative offering fitness solutions to employers, health plans, and hospitality providers. The company expanded its enterprise client base in 2025, positioning the program as a core growth driver alongside its consumer subscription model.
By bolstering both marketing and technology leadership, Peloton aims to strengthen member engagement and expand its capabilities in AI and enterprise services amid continued competition in the connected fitness space.
