Inriver’s appointment of Tom Ebling reinforces its strategic leadership as the company scales globally. Ebling, best known for leading Demandware through its transformation from a $20 million startup to a $2.8 billion acquisition by Salesforce, brings deep experience in enterprise software and digital commerce. His past leadership roles include CEO positions at ProfitLogic, Torrent Systems, and Lattice Engines. Today, he serves as an advisor to several SaaS firms and nonprofits.

ChannelEngine Partnership Expands Marketplace Syndication
To accelerate global commerce capabilities, Inriver has partnered with ChannelEngine, a platform that enables automated product distribution to over 950 global marketplaces. The integration combines ChannelEngine’s marketplace automation with Inriver’s product information management (PIM) and syndication technology, providing customers with a more scalable and consistent path to omnichannel success.
“Tom’s leadership in SaaS and commerce innovation is a tremendous asset for our next growth phase,” said Rohit Goyal, CEO of Inriver. “Partnering with ChannelEngine deepens our commitment to helping customers meet the challenges of modern product data complexity with speed, scale, and accuracy. Together, these moves reflect our focus on turning data complexity into competitive advantage.”
PIMpoint On Tour Showcases Innovation in Trusted Commerce
Inriver’s PIMpoint On Tour 2025 series has energized the digital commerce community, with successful events in Copenhagen and London. These gatherings bring together customers, partners, and product leaders for immersive sessions on data strategy, AI integration, and future-ready commerce experiences. The tour coincides with Inriver’s April 2025 rebrand and renewed focus on proactive product data management.
During the tour, Inriver shared early insights from its upcoming research on AI and consumer trust, based on responses from over 300 enterprise product leaders. The study found that 87% of companies see increased buyer trust when AI is used responsibly to enrich product information—highlighting the critical role of AI in content governance and commerce strategy.
