Katz leaves LeapFrog

By Staff -- Gifts and Dec, March 2, 2010

SAN MATEO, Calif.—Comparison shopping website NexTag has tapped LeapFrog leader Jeffrey G. Katz as its new chief executive officer.

Katz most recently served as Chairman, President and CEO of the electronic learning aid maker. He joined the company in 2006. Prior to LeapFrog, Katz was Chairman and Founding CEO of online travel site Orbitz, a position he assumed after many years in the airline industry.

"NexTag is a clear leader in comparison shopping with a talented employee base and an impressive array of technology capabilities," said Katz. "I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Scott Simmons, NexTag's President, the entire NexTag team, and our merchant and traffic partners to implement what seems a clear path for profitable growth in the U.S. and abroad in the years ahead."

I completely agree with Paul. I have been using CSE Onewayshopping.com which is far much better than Thefind.

Calling NexTag a leader in comparison shopping is a bit of a stretch in my humble opinion. I've always had much more success with other CSEs like Sortprice.com or even Google's Product Search. But given his record, it will be interesting to see how the company turns things around.
