eCommerce veteran Elizabeth Segovia joins company as CEO to power next round of strong ARR growth; Troy Lynch is retiring and will remain an advisor to the company

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – July 18, 2023: TradeCentric, the leading provider of B2B integration and automation between eCommerce systems and eProcurement solutions, announces that eCommerce veteran Elizabeth Segovia has joined the company as Chief Executive Officer.  Troy Lynch, who has led the company’s strong growth in talent, ARR, customers and trading partners, is retiring. 

“It has been an honor to serve TradeCentric over the past four years,” said Troy Lynch. “I am proud of the accomplishments we have achieved together and the vision we have been able to bring to fruition. I am excited to have Elizabeth lead the organization through its next stage of growth and I look forward to continuing to support the business in an advisory role.”

Lynch joined TradeCentric in 2019 and became CEO in early 2021. During his tenure, Lynch helped lead TradeCentric through a recapitalization of the company by Susquehannah Growth Equity, a rebrand, the buildout of a seasoned executive team and an expansion of the talented team of B2B experts. Other significant accomplishments include:

  • Record Annual Recurring Revenue Growth.
  • Expanding TradeCentric’s Customer and Trading Partner network to nearly 4,500 leading companies spanning 40 countries.
  • Increasing transaction volume on the platform to more than 3 million transactions monthly, a more than 200% increase in volume.
  • Driving significant investment in the TradeCentric platform and services, with extensive investments in security infrastructure and ISO 27001 and SOC2 certifications in addition to customer success initiatives.

The leadership and achievements of Lynch set an excellent stage for a seamless transition and continued success.

“I am passionate about building on TradeCentric’s momentum and helping the company  continue to attract clients to our expanding solutions and scale operations,” said Elizabeth Segovia. “Troy’s leadership has cemented TradeCentric as the leader in B2B connected commerce and he has built a strong foundation for our next growth phase. I’m thrilled to carry on his work and guide the team to continued success.” 

Segovia joins following a five-year tenure at ChannelAdvisor, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer. She brings an extensive background driving customer success, building organizational capability, and scaling businesses during growth periods. Throughout her career, Segovia has led comprehensive transformation initiatives across multiple publicly-traded organizations, including IBM and Lenovo. 

“Both Troy and Elizabeth have played and will play vital roles in TradeCentric’s story” said Ben Weinberg, Managing Director at Susquehanna Growth Equity. “Troy’s contributions have allowed Elizabeth to inherit an organization with strong executive leadership, a compelling product strategy, and impressive growth momentum. On behalf of the board, we express our deepest gratitude to Troy for his service, and we welcome Elizabeth in her new role as CEO.”

Looking ahead, TradeCentric is on track to have its strongest year yet. In addition to deploying connector enhancements that accelerate and improve B2B connected commerce enablement, the company is also developing new Platform features and functionalities that augment analytics and reporting capabilities. The company will also continue to gain traction and market share with leading enterprise B2B suppliers, as well as enhancing its offerings to ease invoice processing challenges for enterprise buyers.
