“VWO was founded on the conviction that great products, strong fundamentals, and long-term thinking build enduring companies. In AB Tasty, we found a team that shares this philosophy and complements us strongly in product and organization capabilities, while having a strong alignment in culture, vision, and mission. Together, we see an opportunity to create a global leader that delivers greater scale, depth, and consistency to customers, while staying committed to the core value proposition that have made both companies successful,” said Sparsh Gupta, Co-founder and CEO, VWO.

The merged business will be led by a strengthened co-founding executive team drawing from both organizations. Sparsh Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of VWO, will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined entity. Ankit Jain will step in as the Chief Product and Technology Officer. Rémi Aubert, AB Tasty’s Co-founder and Co-CEO, will become the Chief Customer and Strategy Officer, while Alix de Sagazan, AB Tasty’s other Co-founder and Co-CEO, will become the Chief Revenue Officer. These leaders are demonstrating strong conviction and excitement by continuing to be significantly invested with substantial individual ownerships in the combined company.

“Our ambition has always been to create a global leader in experimentation and experience optimization that delivers tangible, measurable value to customers. Over the past few years, as we reflected on the next chapter for AB Tasty, it quickly became clear that the right path was about alignment—across ambition, culture, product, and geography. With VWO, the alignment was clear early on: shared ambition, shared values, complementary strengths, and a common commitment to customers. This combination gives us the opportunity to pursue the same ambition we’ve always had, but at a much greater scale and significantly expanded resources,” said Alix de Sagazan, Co-CEO, AB Tasty.
