Retention

Lena Kowalczyk

Head of Lifecycle

Lena leads lifecycle, and she makes the argument that retention is an acquisition strategy: repeat purchase rate sets the ceiling on what you can afford to bid, which determines whether you can win competitive auctions at all.

She built the replenishment methodology that calculates real median reorder intervals per category from order history rather than using a generic 30-day trigger — a single flow that became a seven-figure line item for one client.

She also owns deliverability, which she describes as the least glamorous and most consequential part of email. There is no fast version of recovering a damaged sending reputation, and she will tell you so before you sign.
