In his 15 years as a venture-backed CEO, Spier has established his companies as leaders in their respective categories, resulting in sustained market leadership, growth, and value creation. At PLAE, Spier led a next-generation retail brand from launch through to millions of units sold as the market leading online kids footwear brand. Under his leadership, PLAE was a pioneer in the emerging direct-to-consumer business model, building a thriving customer community and a best-in class digital marketing engine that turned PLAE into a household name among its target audience.
At NetBase (now NetBaseQuid), Spier led the company from founding through $100M+ acquisition interest from a major global software provider. Spier built enduring relationships with blue-chip customers and partners including Coca-cola, P&G, JD Power, SAP, Taco Bell, and many others, and recruited a world-class executive team including senior leaders from Apple, TIBCO, Trilogy, BroadVision, Cadence, and McKinsey. Under Spier’s leadership the company developed the world’s most advanced and most scalable natural language processing (NLP) technology, defining the market for Social Media Analytics, the category it still leads today.
