The Omaha-based marketplace for buying and selling high-value goods like fine art or farm equipment has opened an office in London. It's the company's first move internationally. It already has an office in New York.
Ryan Downs, president and CEO of the 13-year-old company says it's another major milestone in Proxibid's growth.
"It's a big deal. We had always aspired to be in the global market," Downs told SPN. "It's a step in the journey. As long as there are new markets we can disrupt, our work is not done. This is just a step in that journey."
Downs is a former PayPal executive who headed worldwide operations, so he has a bit of experience growing companies overseas. He says he knows how to effectively deal with the issues of international expansion.
“This move enables us to better serve our existing UK and European buyers and sellers, and positions us to offer our unique portfolio of e-commerce solutions and access to our large global community of buyers to sellers throughout Europe," he said.
