will help Pitney Bowes continue to expand the reach of our services
to help retailers access global markets,” said Oxton. “I am very
pleased that Craig Reed will be leading this exciting business for
Pitney Bowes. He possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in
international e-commerce and we look forward to his future
contributions to the business.”
Reed’s range of experience in delivering technology and services
in the e-commerce space includes strategy, business development and
operations, having come to Pitney Bowes in 2005 through the
acquisition of Borderfree’s Clearpath Technology. During his tenure
at Borderfree, Ltd., Reed was president of the company, and held a
variety of additional senior management roles in business
development and operations. His experience also includes working as
