Daniel Spiridon had a key role in closing the merger of eMAG with Extreme Digital, which was completed in spring 2022 and which enables customers in Hungary to access 4 million products from a single platform, eMAG.hu and the eMAG app.
eMAG has ongoing investments of RON785 million for the next two years which target its international expansion, including a new warehouse in Dunaharaszti, near Budapest. This project entails an investment of EUR100 million to be completed early 2023.
“Since December 2021, Daniel and his team have been working on closing this merger and strengthening the strategic direction. He has helped increase collaboration between the teams in Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania and has worked closely with the team in Hungary over the past year. I congratulate him on his new role, with the confidence that he will continue to imprint the same vision that brought us success at home, in Romania, building projects of value for our clients,” said Tudor Manea, CEO of eMAG.
Currently, eMAG has more than two million customers in Hungary and more than 600 easybox units. eMAG Hungary is the largest Romanian company in Hungary and holds the top spot in online trade. The eMAG Marketplace platform in Hungary is part of this ecosystem, on which more than 2,000 Romanian entrepreneurs grow and develop businesses.
Daniel Spiridon joined the eMAG team as VP Business Development & Strategy in 2021, after over 15 years of experience in the strategic management consulting firm McKinsey, where he led the branch in Romania, and contributed to the acceleration of the digital transformation of some top companies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), from the position of regional coordinator of the Telecom, Media and Technology team.
“I’m delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to this build as we aim to continue to provide our customers across the region with good services and solutions to help them cope with a period of uncertainty. Thus, we can support other entrepreneurs to succeed in the new economic climate and grow with the help of eMAG Marketplace,” said Daniel Spiridon, CEO of eMAG Hungary.
