CEO and Co-founder of Profitero, an e-commerce performance analytics platform founded in 2010, Vol has a long history in the online sales and analytics arena. Vol has overseen the new product launches, the rapid expansion of the company to over 50 countries, and hiring of over 150+ employees, giving him an informed perspective on how a CEO’s job will change throughout the lifecycle of a startup. After working for Accenture and Google in Online Sales Management, Vol and his two co-founders struck out on their own to create a tool for online retailers to monitor competitors.
