Priest will be co-founder and director at TCC, which is helmed by CEO Patrick Barnes, a former TradeGecko executive. Barnes was TradeGecko’s first vice president of sales in 2013 and served as an advisor to the software-as-a-service firm for over four years.
Founded in June 2021, TCC is a software provider that aims to empower ecommerce entrepreneurs with tools to start, grow, and scale their businesses.
Priest exited TradeGecko 15 months after it was acquired by US-based Intuit, a business and financial software giant.
“I’m ready to get back to building,” Priest told Tech in Asia. “Patrick has been building TCC for over six months, and I’ll be supporting him … as he scales the business.” However, Priest didn’t disclose any further details about TCC or its plans.
