Nguyen’s hire comes on the heels of explosive growth in e-commerce this year, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. PriceSpider saw a 180 percent increase in sales in Q2 across its platform, which processes and analyzes insights about consumer purchasing behavior for many of the world’s largest brands companies via proprietary “spidering” technology. The company has made two acquisitions that support the growth of their technology in the past 14 months: Columbus-based ORIS Intelligence, allowing them to increase their pricing monitoring technology, and German retail data firm Commerce Connector, allowing them to expand their global reach.
