Mirakl, the industry’s first and most advanced enterprise marketplace SaaS platform, announced the appointment of Jean-Gabriel de Mourgues as executive vice president of Mirakl Connect and growth solutions.

Mirakl Connect empowers marketplaces to quickly find, qualify and onboard vetted, relevant sellers to grow their marketplaces without limits. As executive vice president of Mirakl Connect and growth solutions, de Mourgues will oversee the Mirakl Connect ecosystem’s constantly growing network of sellers and partners.
The Mirakl Connect ecosystem has doubled in size over the past year, adding leading sellers including Puma and Yves Rocher.

By bringing together all the parties needed for a thriving marketplace economy, Mirakl Connect enables the organization to solidify its position powering the world’s leading online marketplaces.
“Sellers that align to a marketplace’s vision and values are critical to achieve scalable, sustained growth,” said Adrien Nussenbaum, co-founder and co-CEO, Mirakl. “Mirakl Connect is an essential resource for marketplaces to qualify trusted, pre-vetted sellers and partners that will help scale their business while protecting their brand.
