Extracting web data at scale is extremely difficult. Gathering meaningful insights from the web involves extracting and structuring data from an ever-changing, infinitely variable source, requiring a substantial investment of resources to maintain.

Paul Lynch, who has previously served as CEO of Chargify and Assembla (former Scaleworks investments) has been appointed CEO, replacing longtime CEO Gary Read. “I am incredibly excited to join Import.io and am eager to build upon the strong technical foundation and reputation that the team has created. Import.io has demonstrated consistently over the last number of years that we offer the best technology tools to our customers and prove time and again that we can solve the most complex web data extraction problems,” said Lynch.
