Cheyney will lead strategic partnerships and revenue-generating initiatives across key markets.

Cheyney will play a key role in establishing alliances across the retail media landscape that unlock new growth opportunities and advance the company’s expansion strategy.

“In-store retail media is one of the biggest opportunities for retailers right now. Shoppers move seamlessly between digital and physical channels, and the real challenge is bringing those worlds together,” said Matt Elsley, CEO and co-founder of QSIC. “Sean has been part of that journey from the start. His experience across digital, in-store and out-of-home makes him the right person to help us build stronger partnerships and show retailers how to get more value out of their stores.”

Cheyney has more than 20 years of experience driving revenue growth across online and offline media channels. Over the course of his career, he has led retailer client acquisition, global market expansion, sales positioning and growth strategies for some of the industry’s most recognized companies. Most recently, he established and scaled Vistar Media’s retail media practice as head of retail media. Cheyney was also part of CitrusAd’s leadership team during its high-profile and rapid growth, acquisition and rebrand to Epsilon Retail Media, and previously held a senior role at Triad Retail Media, an early innovator in retail media.

“QSIC has built something truly unique by combining audio with data intelligence to create meaningful retail media experiences inside the store,” said Cheyney. “I’ve spent my career helping retailers unlock new growth opportunities, and I see enormous potential to rapidly expand this platform globally. I’m excited to join this talented team to build strategies that generate revenue and transform how shoppers connect with brands in-store through audio.”
