True Fit, the leading platform for apparel and footwear retailers to optimize fit guidance and drive confidence for shoppers, has further strengthened its executive team with two strategic hires to underpin scaling growth.
True Fit announced the appointment of tech leader, Raj Chandrasekaran, as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and privacy expert Tracy Gray, as General Counsel. These strategic hires will bolster True Fit’s growth plans as it scales on the back of an 85% increase in revenue, along with bringing major innovations in customer experience and unrivalled data sets to the market.
Chandrasekaran, with over 20 years’ experience leading high-performing tech teams, draws on extensive experience at eBay, OpenTable and Roku enabling fast-growth technology and teams to unlock widespread scaling growth trajectories. As CTO, he will provide strategic direction and leadership, overseeing global technology operations and teams that fulfill True Fit’s role as the ubiquitous size and fit standard solution globally at scale.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Raj to the True Community,” says William R. Adler, President and CEO, True Fit. “Raj’s impressive track record scaling other tech platforms, his extraordinary leadership acumen, and his vision for scaling our platform ubiquitously amidst the digital shift, underscores our rapid growth trajectory.

Chandrasekaran commented: “True Fit is already central to the way leading apparel retailers decode fit to give nearly 100M active users only what they love. This is just scratching the surface of the technology and team’s potential. Our vision for scaling it to ubiquity, and opening up new possibilities and capabilities, is inspiring. I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of this special team, and to help unlock fashion’s digital transformation.”

Chandrasekaran and Gray join at an exciting time for the business.
