iPrice Group is South-East Asia’s leading meta-search platform, serving markets in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong.

In a statement, Brown-Kenyon commented that he was excited to join the team.

“Prior to my appointment, iPrice has done a tremendous job in assisting online consumers across seven countries in South-East Asia navigate e-commerce to discover the best deals. Today, the meta-search platform assists almost 20 million users a month, conveniently providing them verified product and vendor information. This presents the company a significant opportunity for us to further expand the range of our services and widen the reach of our product.”

Brown-Kenyon was the chief executive officer of Measat Satellite Systems Sdn Bhd for more than 13 years prior to his appointment at iPrice Group.
