Co-founder and CEO, commercetools

Our purpose Reimagining digital commerce for the world’s leading companies

In 2012, Dirk Hoerig, co-founder of commercetools,  coined the term “headless commerce” to differentiate between monolithic all-in-one commerce suites and his radical new approach. The concept of decoupling the backend from the frontend disrupted the industry status quo and created a new standard for eCommerce.

Today, commercetools provides the leading composable commerce platform. We power commerce infrastructure-influenced competitive advantages, long-term business value, and agility for enterprises across every industry while reducing their total costs. Every day, across almost every continent, brands rely on commercetools to make faster, more meaningful connections to their customers at every touchpoint.
