Rowe Price New Horizons Fund.[5] That year the company had $900 million in sales and had become the number 1 online pet retailer.[6] In April 2017, PetSmart purchased Chewy for $3.35 billion in the largest e-commerce acquisition of all time. That year Fortune named Cohen one of its “40 under 40.”[7] Cohen remained CEO following the acquisition and operated the business largely as an independent unit of PetSmart.[6] In March 2018, he stepped down as CEO to pursue personal goals and spend time with his family.[1] References1. ^1 Nancy Dahlberg, [https://miamiherald.typepad.com/the-starting-gate/2018/03/change-at-the-top-co-founder-ryan-cohen-stepping-down-as-ceo-of-chewy.html "Co-founder Ryan Cohen stepping down as CEO of Chewy, a homegrown success story,"] Miami Herald, March 15, 20018. {{DEFAULTSORT:Cohen, Ryan}}2. ^Debora Lima, [https://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/news/2017/03/03/chewy-goes-toe-to-toe-with-mainstay-brands.html "Chewy goes toe-to-toe with mainstay brands,"] South Florida Business Journal, March 3, 2017. 3. ^Susan Adams, [https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2017/01/10/the-man-who-found-gold-in-dog-food/#2dadbed73095 "The Man Who Found Gold In Dog Food,"] Forbes, January 24, 2017. 4. ^Nancy Dahlberg, [https://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article205459519.html "What it’s like to grow and sell a multibillion-dollar company, at age 32,"] Miami Herald, March 26, 2018. 5. ^Olivia Zaleski, [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-22/your-dog-deserves-an-oil-portrait-with-her-gluten-free-kibble "Your Dog Deserves an Oil Portrait With Her Gluten-Free Kibble,"] Bloomberg News, November 22, 2016. 6. ^1 Maria Armental, [https://www.wsj.com/articles/petsmarts-latest-bite-at-e-commerce-chewy-com-1492562264 "PetSmart’s Latest Bite at E-Commerce: Chewy.com,"] The Wall Street Journal, April 18, 2017. 7. ^"35 - Ryan Cohen," Fortune, retrieved November 27, 2018. 4 : Living people|American company founders|Year of birth uncertain|Year of birth missing (living people) |
