Biography

Nick Nickitas is the founder of Rosie, the most trusted, locally focused ecommerce company. Rosie partners with leading local grocers and their wholesalers to provide customers with same-day delivery or in-store pickup options, helping shoppers discover products from their favorite local stores.

In September 2022, Rosie was acquired by Instacart. Nickitas now leads Instacart's business strategy and technology development for local independent grocers, as the company continues to build best-in-class ecommerce and fulfillment solutions for this critical segment of the grocery industry.
