With expertise spanning data, streaming, omnichannel formats and advanced TV convergence, and senior relationships across brands, advertising holding companies, independent agencies and media companies, these strategic hires underscore the company's commitment to forging partnerships that drive value, results and efficiencies for its clients.
Dianne Cairoli – Vice President, Sales and Client Success, South – will oversee agency and client direct sales as well as client success efforts across the Southern region of the United States. The former head of mid-markets for Dish's Sling TV, she has also held roles as the SVP of ZEFR, leading the revenue function for the East Coast, as well as Viacom, Condé Nast and Yahoo!.
Jessica Curry – Vice President, Sales and Client Success, Central – will oversee agency and client direct sales as well as client success efforts across the Central region of the U.S. Jessica joins Nexxen from Teads, where she held various leadership roles, including heading their Agency Development team and most recently serving as their SVP of Midwest Sales. Prior, she led sales initiatives at Mode Media and worked agency-side within Spark Communications.
Cairoli and Curry both bring proven track records in establishing deep partnerships that deliver exceptional value and results in an increasingly addressable world. Nexxen believes their expertise in leveraging data and insights across linear, streaming/CTV and omnichannel platforms will accelerate growth and client success within these key regions.
Jaan Janes – Vice President, Business Development – will lead Nexxen's global growth strategy for monetizing display and online video, including publisher product solutions, demand support and AI enhancements. Working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, Janes is a proven digital media business builder with extensive sales, business development, strategy and customer management experience, having held roles at the NFL, AOL, Pulse 360, Yieldbot and, most recently, PubMatic.
Michael Lewis – Vice President, Enterprise Sales – will focus on fostering new and existing enterprise client relationships across Nexxen's largest brand and agency partners in the U.S. Central region. He will be leading strategic solutions across the Nexxen data, media and technology spaces to exceed clients' business and marketing objectives. Leveraging his past experience at Viant and Kargo – leading programmatic strategy and execution for brands and agencies alike – Lewis looks forward to helping advertisers maximize their reach with transparency and control.
