As the financial calendar flips into Q2, PerformanceIN looks over what was a bustling month of job updates from start to finish.
The beginning of March saw Rakuten Marketing’s Tony Zito promoted to CEO. Zito’s move to helmsman comes after a three-year stint at the company, having joined as chief revenue officer after its purchase of mediaForge.
Also this week, global affiliate solutions provider CJ Affiliate by Conversant installed Anne Delhon as the group’s country manager for the UK, where she will report to European managing director Charles Delamain.
