A New Era at Spring: Leadership Changes Powering Innovation and Growth

Spring Promotes Thoughtful Leaders from Within

Halfway through 2026, we are taking a moment to think back to the vision we laid out as our Spring leadership and Spring teams from across the organization gathered in São Paulo for our 2026 company kickoff.

Now officially Spring’s CEO, Tommy Bittner promised, “2026 is about building for the future while being strong stewards of what we’ve built.” He continued, “Our focus is on predictable growth, product excellence, and delivering real outcomes for customers.”

Tommy Bittner became the CEO in May and soon after promoted leadership within the company to align with its promise to continue CPG industry software solutions and provide excellent customer service.

Slava Dobkin is Now Chief Product and Innovation Officer

Spring announced that Slava Dobkin is now Chief Product and Innovation Officer. Dobkin was previously Senior Director, Product and Innovation, Advanced Analytics.

Slava joined the Spring team in 2025 to launch a new AI-focused division dedicated to the next generation of advanced analytics, AI/ML, and AI agent capabilities. “The depth of thinking, the relentless focus on our customers, and the clarity of vision that Slava brings every single day is exactly what this role demands,” said Tommy Bittner.

As CPIO, Slava will lead the charge on continuing to push the boundaries of what Field Intelligence can be for CPG operators.

Karl Grambow is Now Chief Operating Officer

It was also announced that Karl Grambow is stepping into the role of Chief Operating Officer. He was promoted from his previous role as Director of Operations and Data Services.

Grambow has been a key asset in developing new product offerings for Spring clients.

“The operational rigor, cross-functional leadership, and commitment to execution that Karl brings are exactly what we need as we scale,” said Tommy Bittner.

As COO, Karl will own how Spring operates at every level, making sure the company moves fast without losing the quality and intentionality that define us.

As we roll into summer, look for updates from Spring as we continue to innovate and build systems and tools that offer innovative AI solutions for the CPG industry, such as Spring’s latest product, Break Adherence ™.
