Australia – Global adtech PubMatic has appointed James Young, most recently from rival adtech company Magnite, as its new regional director for Australia and New Zealand. His appointment takes effect in September this year.
In his new role, Young will lead the ANZ team, managing strategy, sales and operations for PubMatic in the region, as the company continues to focus on delivering effective, innovative, and responsible media solutions to publishers and advertisers.
Most recently, Young was Magnite’s managing director for Australia. He previously held senior roles with Telaria, The Guardian, and eBay. He is also the co-chair of the IAB Video Council.
Speaking on his appointment, he said, “The ANZ market has enormous potential for growth, and I’m excited that I’ll be part of a company that is at the forefront of the digital advertising industry. I look forward to working closely with PubMatic customers and partners to drive success in the region.”
Meanwhile, Jason Barnes, chief revenue officer for APAC at PubMatic, commented, “PubMatic is in a period of significant growth and James’s pedigree in the digital advertising market and experience with broadcast on demand (BVOD) advertising will bring incredible value to the team and our publisher and advertiser customers.”
This new appointment comes after the recent appointment of Sandro Catanzaro as new vice president of product management, CTV, and video.
