DoorDash has appointed Amazon’s Tim Castree as global chief marketing officer.
He replaces Kofi Amoo-Gottfried, who announced earlier this year that he would step down after roughly seven years at the company.
Castree is a highly experienced advertising and media executive best known for senior leadership roles at Amazon and WPP.
At Amazon, he most recently served as vice president of EU Prime and marketing, while he led GroupM’s North American business for a year and was the global CEO of Wavemaker for several years.
Castree spent five years in Australia, leading Leo Burnett and George Patterson Partners earlier in his career.
“Tim is a deeply customer-obsessed, naturally curious leader who brings a rare intellectual rigor to every dimension of marketing, from performance and data to brand building at global scale,” said Prabir Adarkar, president and chief operating officer of DoorDash.
“What sets him apart is his ability to build brands that feel genuinely local in every market, which is exactly what DoorDash needs as we continue to grow and reach new audiences around the world.”
DoorDash reported record membership signups in the first quarter of 2026, with its quarterly revenue increasing 33 per cent year-on-year to $4 billion.
“What drew me to DoorDash is the mission. The idea that we live in service of local communities, local businesses, and local Dashers is a powerful and differentiated story to tell, and an incredible platform to build from,” Castree said.
“I’m excited to help tell that story in ways that feel real and relevant to people wherever they are in our brand evolution, while continuing to broaden how customers think about what DoorDash can do for them.”
