KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 21 (Bernama) -- AB Tasty and VWO, two pioneers in digital experience optimisation, have entered into an agreement to combine, subject to customary closing conditions, creating a scaled, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven experimentation and personalisation platform serving enterprises worldwide.

AB Tasty Co-Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Alix de Sagazan said this combination allows us to pursue our long-standing ambition at a much greater scale, with expanded resources and a shared commitment to customers.

Meanwhile, VWO Co-founder and CEO, Sparsh Gupta said: “Together, we see an opportunity to create a global leader that delivers greater scale, depth, and consistency to customers, while staying committed to the core value proposition that has made both companies successful.”

According to a statement, the combined company will generate more than US$100 million in annual revenue and serve over 4,000 customers globally, with approximately 90 per cent of revenue coming from the United States and Europe. (US$1=RM4.05)

Operating across 11 offices with teams spanning North America, Latin America (LATAM), Europe, and Asia Pacific (APAC), the platform is designed to deliver global reach with strong local execution.

The unified offering will bring together AI-led experimentation, real-time adaptive personalisation, behavioural insights, and advanced analytics. The companies plan to invest significantly in a full-stack, AI-native technology platform to deepen customer partnerships and accelerate innovation.
