“I am honored to serve as CEO of B2X Corporation,” said Sorisi. “I intend to apply my past business and leadership experience at USA Networks ECS, a multi-billion dollar company, to transform global sourcing by the internet, online and offline at B2X. My goal is to harness the power of B2X’s interactive technology to make trade easier and more productive for businesses all over the world.”


Mr. Sorisi possesses startup and Fortune company experience developing and deploying transactional e-commerce, marketing and back office technology business solutions for Fortune B2C and B2B brands. He has served as CIO of Platform Learning and Corporate Vice President, IT Operations of Columbia House. Previously, he was Vice President, Technology and Client Services for USA Networks Company and Vice President, Technology for its subsidiary, Ticketmaster. Earlier experience includes positions of increasing importance with Interlogic Trace.
