Our Leadership Team
As the founder and CEO of CognitionHub.com, Maz is a seasoned digital executive with a passion for leveraging the power of AI to transform e-commerce operations. With over two decades of experience in the online space, Maz has a proven track record of driving growth and innovation in both start-up and turnaround environments.
Maz's entrepreneurial journey began in the mid-90s, when he founded Internet Business Group (IBG) and grew it from a start-up to a successful IPO in 2000. Under his leadership, IBG launched AffiliateFuture in 2001, which quickly became one of the leading affiliate networks in the travel sector. The business was acquired by TMN Media which became GlobalData.
In addition to the successes with IBG and AffiliateFuture, Maz co-founded and served as CEO of Sweatband.com, a specialty sports and fitness equipment e-commerce business. Under his leadership, the company grew to over £20m in sales and was acquired by the Taiwan stock exchange listed Dyaco International Inc in 2021.
Maz's approach to leadership is focused on setting clear goals and outcomes, and building teams of talented individuals to achieve them. The approach is underpinned by ethical values and a belief that great businesses are built by great people working together to disrupt the status quo.
Looking ahead, Maz’s goal is to build CognitionHub into a multi-faceted business that becomes the thought leader in AI-native e-commerce.
