Mirakl recently welcomed Jean-Gabriel de Mourgues as executive vice president of Mirakl Connect and growth solutions, a press release reported.
"Sellers that align to a marketplace's vision and values are critical to achieve scalable, sustained growth," co-founder and co-CEO, Mirakl, Adrien Nussenbaum, said. "Mirakl Connect is an essential resource for marketplaces to qualify trusted, pre-vetted sellers and partners that will help scale their business while protecting their brand. Jean-Gabriel's experience leading the growth of Amazon Marketplace in Europe and Latin America will prove invaluable as we drive expansion of the marketplace model throughout the world."
Under his new role, de Mourgues will scope out opportunities to expand Mirakl Connect’s network of sellers and partners. The executive will help expand Mirakl’s presence in a marketplace that has seen 45% more sellers in the past year.
The appointment is one of several expansion efforts made by Mirakl Connect in the past year. Its roster now includes Puma and Yves Rocher.
In addition to the appointment, the company will also add onto its slate of partners, welcoming Flowspace and eDesk to the list.
"The Mirakl Connect ecosystem has the potential to completely transform how retailers connect with new sellers and partners, at a moment when expanded product assortments are essential to combat supply chain pressures and rising inflation," de Mourgues said. "I know firsthand the importance of streamlining how marketplace operators identify, source and onboard sellers and partners so they can more easily meet the needs and expectations of their customers. I look forward to working with the Mirakl Connect team to grow our global ecosystem and develop new product innovations that offer a seamless experience for operators, sellers and partners that want to expand their marketplace business."
