If you missed your usual dose of Movers & Shakers last month you’re in for a treat, because this week we’re bringing you a special two-month edition, covering all the job changes that fell on our plate throughout August and September.
We have possibly – nay probably – missed a few, so why not make this interactive and mention any fresh colleagues, departed comrades or promotions in the comments below…
Tech
September saw Ogilvy New York’s former global affiliate marketing senior partner, Ewan Darby, appointed as general manager of EMEA at Accelerize’s digital marketing software division, CAKE.
Meanwhile, marketing tech group RadiumOne announced a quadruple addition to the c-suite. Chief financial officer Anna Baird took the lofty promotion to president – retaining her former role and title – while Dimitri Vaynblat, previously SVP of data, optimisation and product strategy, got the bump up to chief technology and data officer.
The final two for RadiumOne came with Mike Werner’s promotion to EVP of North American sales and Dave Zinman’s transition from chief product officer to chief operating officer.
Search
SEO leader Searchmetrics took on a new CEO in the form of Volker Smid, following a two-and-half-year stint by Tom Schuster, who now holds the title of SVP field services at mobile retail platform NewStore. Volker joins to drive international growth, boasting senior management experience at HP and Novell.
Two former Googlers have joined the ranks of digital marketing tech company Turn, with former director of brand development Richard Robinson taking the renewed position of managing director of EMEA. Joining from the Yahoo-owned BrightRoll, new CEO Bruce Falck also sports an eight-year history at the search giant.
Ad tech titan AppNexus couldn’t resist either, hiring long-time Google exec Doina Harris as EMEA vice president of its Advertiser Technology Group (ATG), while SAP veteran Michele Weber joins as vice president and head of AppNexus’s ATG global marketing.
Mobile
Over in the world of devices, mobile ad company YOC appointed Mark Wright as UK managing director, where he brings expertise in programmatic, having left the helm at Drawbridge UK.
