The chief executive officer of Getprice Chris Hitchen has appointed Prue Cox as the company’s business development manager.
Cox, who joins Getprice from Digital Out of Home operator CafeScreen, will be responsible for developing and maintaining direct relationships with multi-channel and large online retailers, as well as large product manufacturers.
“I am pleased that she will be transferring her talents to Getprice as we enter an exciting new phase in our business development. Her brief is simple – help retailers and manufacturers realise the potential of the Australian e-commerce market and demonstrate Getprice’s role in helping them achieve this,” Hitchen said.
According to Cox, she is looking forward to being part of the current online retail boom.
“With the majority of multi-channel retailers beginning to increase their online strategies, this is a very exciting time to be joining the market leader in online comparison shopping. The added strength of the News Digital Media ownership and solid, innovative vision of Getprice, I believe we are very well positioned to capitalise on the growing e-commerce market in Australia,” she said.
News Digital Media completed the acquisition of Getprice in September 2010.
