Digital River, a provider of Commerce-as-a-Service solutions, has hired IBM executive Marco Vergani as its general manager and vice president of EMEA to oversee sales, marketing and operations in the region.
Vergani will be based in London and manage Digital River’s operations in Austria, England, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Russia and Sweden.
