Technical leadership is crucial to a robotics start-up. So we’re thrilled to announce that Rory MacKean has joined p!ng as Chief Technology Officer.

Over the course of his career, Rory has:

• Taken products from early architecture to live deployment

• Built systems designed not just to work — but to scale

• Operated in and achieved success in capital-efficient start-up environments where ambiguity is constant, resources are finite, and shipping and execution matter

For a company like p!ng — integrating robotics, software, real estate, and retail operations — this kind of systems thinking is critical.

As we deploy our next generation of autonomous pods and optimize our hub‑and‑spoke model, Rory will lead the technical architecture and execution that powers our growth.

Welcome to the team Rory!
