Unstack Q&A with Vice President of Growth Grant Deken

written by Abisola Adeyemo

In today’s market, merchandisers are facing the pressure to increase conversion rates and customer lifetime value by creating engaging, personalized commerce experiences. While a Composable Commerce approach promises the flexibility to meet the requirements quickly, the reality is that complexity of building a frontend has left brands with heavy reliance on technical teams, delayed time-to-market for new features & experiences, and expensive time-consuming integration builds. All of these complexities means brands are missing growth targets or abandoning a composable approach altogether.

But this does not have to be the case anymore. Elastic Path acquired Unstack, a frontend-as-a-service company, which empowers merchandisers with a blazing fast no-code frontend and the ability to drive revenue with personalized turn-key storefronts and shoppable landing pages.

I sat down with Unstack founder and CEO who is now the Vice President of Growth at Elastic Path Grant Deken to learn more about Elastic Path Frontend (formerly Unstack) and how this partnership is driving growth and  Composable Commerce adoption for brands.

1. Q: What is Unstack?

A:


Elastic Path Frontend, formerly known as Unstack is a frontend-as-a-service product that gives business teams the ability to build and launch personalized shoppable landing pages and turn-key storefronts.
