Wayvia Launches Professional Services Division in Major Expansion, Names Two Industry Veterans to Its Leadership Team
IRVINE, Calif., July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wayvia, the omnicommerce enablement leader formerly known as PriceSpider, today unveiled a major expansion of its business: the launch of a new Professional Services division, alongside the appointment of two of the industry’s most accomplished leaders to its senior team.
Former Walmart executive Robert Gregory will lead the new division as Senior Director of Professional Services, bringing more than two decades of experience building and scaling service offerings. Lynne Riojas, a former Vice President at Bazaarvoice, joins as Head of Sales to drive the company’s revenue growth.
The new division marries Wayvia’s sophisticated omnicommerce platform with seasoned human expertise and AI-driven insight, helping brands navigate a fast-changing e-commerce landscape and accelerate their sales.
“Our clients’ time is their scarcest resource, and Professional Services is how we help them make the most of it,” said Anthony Ferry, co-founder and CEO of Wayvia. “Our platform already gives brands powerful, real-time insight into their omnicommerce performance. Now we’re pairing that intelligence with expert advisors who interpret it and turn it into action on our clients’ behalf. It’s a true human-in-the-loop model, where AI surfaces what matters and our team brings the judgment and execution to make it count. This is a significant step in our evolution as a company. With these hires and this new division, we’re delivering on our promise to support brands at every step of the customer journey.”
With its new hires, Wayvia has recruited two of the most respected leaders in commerce and retail technology.
The launch marks the latest milestone in Wayvia’s rapid transformation. Since rebranding from PriceSpider in July 2025 the company, which works with more than 2,000 brands, has continued to build on nearly two decades of shopper and retail intelligence. In the past year, it has launched the industry’s first AI-native omnicommerce Model Context Protocol, along with next-generation versions of its Shoppable media platform and Prowl retail intelligence platform. As algorithms and AI agents increasingly determine how products are discovered and purchased, the new Professional Services division extends that innovation from insight to action — ensuring brands not only have best-in-class commerce intelligence, but the expertise to turn it into growth.
