“Both organizations are ranked among the top trade data providers in the highly competitive U.S. market and are groundbreaking innovators in database access, research and analysis technologies,” McCahill says. “Together, our combined assets make us an industry powerhouse and advance our goal of being the world’s largest provider of global commercial trade information.”
McCahill will continue as CEO of Datamyne, and will also lead an integration team that includes Zepol CEO Paul Rasmussen.
