Digonex, the industry leader in automated, algorithm-driven dynamic pricing solutions, today announced the appointment of Patrick Walsh as its new chief executive officer.
Digonex specializes in sophisticated, dynamic pricing platforms, developed by PhD economists, for clients in attractions, cultural institutions, tour operator sectors, and arts & entertainment. Its solutions consistently deliver double-digit revenue gains while balancing strategic objectives such as accessibility and capacity management.
Walsh expands his current duties as president, chief operating officer, and member of the board of directors at Emmis Corporation. Walsh brings more than three decades of executive leadership to Digonex, having led media operations at Emmis and Mediaco (NASDAQ: MDIA) driving strategic renewal, growth, and in the case of Emmis, a successful divestiture strategy. Walsh also led the IPO at Monument Circle Acquisition Corporation and diversified Emmis’ holdings across digital media, technology, commercial building systems, video game advertising, podcasting, radio, and social impact marketing ventures. Walsh began his tenure at Emmis as chief financial officer, overseeing corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions functions, and earlier in his career held senior roles at Xperi (iBiquity), McKinsey & Company, General Motors, and Deloitte.
“Pat’s deep operational acumen, solid leadership, and proven success in innovation and strategic renewal will be instrumental in guiding Digonex into its next chapter of growth and excellence,” said Jeff Smulyan, chairman and chief executive officer of Emmis.
“I’m honored to lead Digonex at such an exciting moment,” said Walsh. “Digonex’s algorithmic pricing intelligence, fueled by more PhD economists that anyone else in the attractions and live events space, positions Digonex to help clients accelerate revenue growth from pricing insights, automation, and AI. Digonex has invested heavily in its team and technology in the past year leading to industry leading growth in its client portfolio and ticketing partnerships. We expect this growth to accelerate in the coming years with additional investment in human capital, ticketing platform integrations, automation technology, and AI.”
The leadership transition follows the passing of Greg Loewen, who had served as president and chief executive officer of Digonex. The Digonex team remains steadfast in honoring Loewen’s legacy by advancing Digonex’s mission consistent with Greg’s commitment to integrity and innovation.
