Peter Sol stepped down as CCO on January 1, 2024, and continues as Director Strategy to strengthen our investment focus (Icecat Capital). He is temporarily replaced as CCO by managing director Emre Tan, who is already involved in daily sales operations as chief growth officer (CGO). All other board members remain in their posts.
We started further simplifying our organization by merging Iceshop BV and Icecat Syndy BV into Icecat Commerce BV, which will be effective on the last workday of 2024. This will create business substance regarding our e-commerce and PIM solutions in the market, help unify our platforms, strengthen our main Icecat brand, and simplify our internal administrative processes.
