Logiq, a global provider of eCommerce and fintech business enablement solutions, has promoted global Martech innovator, Tom Furukawa, to the position of chief executive officer of Logiq. He previously served as chief technology officer of the company’s DataLogiq subsidiary.
Furukawa succeeds Brent Suen, who has been appointed executive chairman of Logiq and who will continue to serve as president. Matthew Burlage, who was previously chairman, will continue to serve as director and chair of the audit committee.
“Tom’s promotion to CEO reflects the global expansion of Logiq over the last year and particularly our company-wide evolution from being primarily an eCommerce services company to a leading innovator of data-driven consumer intelligence and marketing technology,” noted Suen.
“Tom’s extensive senior-level international experience and achievements with creating and delivering cutting-edge digital marketing technologies will play a critical role as we further develop and deploy our offerings to enterprises and major brands,” continued Suen. “He brings to the position the ideal skill set to help make our eCommerce and fintech platforms more data-driven and interconnected for the benefit of our customers and partners.”
From startups and IPOs to major global enterprises, over the last 26 years Furukawa has served in senior level management roles for some of the world’s most successful companies, including Yahoo!, IBM Tivoli (a division of NYSE-traded IBM), Nasdaq-traded The Rubicon Project, and The Enthusiast Network.
