Composable commerce solution commercetools has appointed Andrew Burton as its new CEO. Burton, who replaces Dirk Hoerig, the co-founder and former CEO, has over two decades of business leadership experience. Hoerig will transition to the role of chief innovation officer and continue to serve on the company’s board, focusing on product innovation and key relationships.

Prior to joining commercetools, Burton served as president and COO at Rapid7 where he significantly increased the company’s annual recurring revenue. Previously, he served as the CEO of Logentries ahead of its acquisition by Rapid7. 

Burton’s background in sales, marketing, product engineering and operations makes him well-suited to drive commercetools’ continued expansion. In his new capacity as CEO, Burton will spearhead the company’s next era of growth as it continually invests in innovation and development.
