Buzzillions Welcomes Pehr Luedtke

October 19th, 2009 Angela No comments

We’re extremely excited to introduce you to the newest member of the Buzzillions team, Pehr Luedtke. Pehr joins Buzzillions as our new CEO. Most recently, Pehr was General Manager at Epinions, and prior to that, held senior strategy and sales roles at Levi Strauss and Company. When he’s away from the Buzzillions headquarters, Pehr enjoys running, taking pictures, and finding new sushi joints. He’s looking forward to putting everyone to shame on the ping pong table. Here are a few words from Pehr:

“October has been a month of milestones for Buzzillions. This weekend, the site hit the mark of 1 million products on the site. With 6.9 million product reviews,  that’s almost 7 reviews per product. At the same time, Buzzillions has seen a record number of users on the site & consumer demand for customer reviews has never been higher. Given this remarkable growth & the strength of our small team, I am very confident that Buzzillions can become the leading destination for consumers who are looking both for product inspiration as well as affirmation.”

In the coming months and years, we’ll continue to expand the depth and breadth of customer reviews on the site. We’ll stay focused on our goal of saving you time, money, and energy in your shopping experience by helping you make the right decision the first time. At the same time, you can expect to see some changes on Buzzillions as we experiment with features to make our site more intuitive & our content more accessible. As always, we’ll count on you to give us feedback on what you like & what we can do better. After all, your voices, stories and ideas are what make Buzzillions the number one destination for smart shoppers online.”

Welcome Pehr, and please be sure to come to Buzzillions for all of your holiday shopping!
