Peloton’s new CEO, Barry McCarthy, considers an app store and a new subscription model as potential ways to jumpstart the company’s stagnant sales.
McCarthy, a former CFO at Spotify and Netflix, says his vision for Peloton may include an app store that accepts third-party content. McCarthy tells the New York Times, “Today, it’s a closed platform — but it could be an open platform and part of the creator economy.” “Would you put any other apps on it?” Is it possible that it is running an app store?”
