Following the acquisition of Luxury Society, the world’s most influential online community of 30,000+ luxury professionals, Digital Luxury Group (DLG) announces the recruitment of seasoned start-up executive Raoul Beck as Chief Operating Officer of its Intelligence unit.

“We are on our way to creating a benchmark for the luxury industry: an organization that covers news, business intelligence, agency services, events, and insights. One of our biggest challenge now is to continue building a world-class team,” says David Sadigh, Founder and CEO of Digital Luxury Group.

Raoul Beck, comes to the role with a strong engineering background having held positions such as Chief Technology Officer at Echovox, where he developed the payment infrastructure of Zong, later acquired by eBay/Paypal. Thereafter he built a proprietary platform for algorithmic trading for securities for a major financial institution.

Mr. Beck’s role will be to lead operations, including client delivery and technology, of the Intelligence unit, which brings together proprietary research and key products such as the WorldWatchReport™ and the World Luxury Index™, brand intelligence and desirability solutions, along with Luxury Society’s website, mobile application, and luxury executive professional network.

Mr. Beck concludes, “Digital Luxury Group’s proprietary technologies, combined with Luxury Society’s reach and unique audience provide the luxury industry with a unique and compelling offering. I’m excited to bring my technology and R&D background to the organization in order to further build out and scale the role of data and insights.”
