Seattle-based pet care marketplace Rover is adding two executives to its leadership team: former Motus CFO Vik Rajagopal as chief financial officer and Textio co-founder Jensen Harris as president of marketplace, product and technology.
Rajagopal succeeds Charlie Wickers, who served as Rover’s CFO from 2022 to 2025. Harris succeeds Brent Turner, who was Rover’s president and chief operating officer before he was named CEO last year.
Rajagopal spent nearly a decade at Amazon, starting in 2011 as a finance lead for Amazon Global Selling, the program that helps sellers reach customers in other countries. He later became a general manager in Amazon’s retail business, running the U.S. shoes and luggage stores and the home store, as well as Amazon’s U.S. Vendor Success Program.
He left Amazon in late 2020 to become CFO of Logos, a maker of Bible study software backed by private equity firm Cove Hill Partners. He was promoted to CEO about a year later, replacing the company’s founder, and led Logos until April 2024. He was most recently CFO at Motus, which makes software that companies use to manage and reimburse employees who drive for work.
Earlier in his career, Rajagopal was an investment banker at Wells Fargo Securities and worked in corporate development at Symantec. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Yale and an MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.
“Rover is a Seattle company that was built the right way from day one — solving a real customer pain point with a strong product, solid economics, and a culture that is poised for long-term success,” Rajagopal said in a news release on Wednesday.
Harris co-founded Seattle-based Textio in 2014 with Kieran Snyder, his wife, after both worked on productivity software at Microsoft. The startup used AI to analyze workplace writing such as job posts and performance reviews. Harris was Textio’s CTO for nearly eight years, then chief experience officer, before taking over as CEO from Snyder in January 2024. He handed the CEO role to Colleen Gallagher in January 2026 and remains with Textio as founder emeritus.
Textio has raised $42.5 million from investors and went through rounds of layoffs in 2024 and 2025 under Harris. As CEO, he led the launch of Lavalier, an AI-based interview intelligence platform.
Before Textio, Harris spent more than 15 years at Microsoft, where he led the redesign of the Office user interface that produced the Ribbon, and later led user experience for Windows and the touch interface for the original Surface.
After leaving the CEO role at Textio, Harris founded Expedition 60, a firm that helps companies rework how they build software with AI.
“Our pets give us unconditional love, and they deserve the very best in return,” Harris said in a statement, adding that he shares a home with “three very opinionated cats.”
Rover was born at a 2011 Seattle Startup Weekend event, where venture capitalist Greg Gottesman pitched the idea. Aaron Easterly led the company as CEO for 14 years, taking it through the pandemic, a public offering and a $2.3 billion take-private deal with Blackstone in 2024. He stepped down last year and became executive chair, handing the CEO role to Turner.
Rover now operates in 18 countries across North America, Europe and Australia, and says sitters and walkers on its platform have provided 50 million bookings to date. Its brands include cat-sitting marketplaces Meowtel and Cat in a Flat, and Australia-based Mad Paws. Beyond sitting and walking, Rover now offers training in the U.S. and is testing other services.
