UPDATE: LiquidM Adds Programmatic Advertising Heavyweight Julian Tol as Chief Revenue Officer

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Jul 2, 2014) – LiquidM, the only full-stack Mobile Advertising Management Platform (MAMP), today announced the appointment of Julian Tol as Chief Revenue Officer. Tol will join LiquidM’s executive team alongside CEO Christof Wittig and CPO Roi Chobadi, and will be responsible for global revenue, new strategic business initiatives, and strategic partnerships.

Julian Tol is one of the world’s most experienced and well-known programmatic advertising executives. He founded Brandscreen in 2006, one of the world’s first enterprise-grade DSPs, and the market-leader in the Asia-Pacific region. Tol brings to LiquidM enormous programmatic advertising industry experience and a deep understanding of customer requirements in the Software-as-a-Service Ad Platform space.

“I took this role for three reasons,” said Julian Tol. “I fundamentally believe that platforms built around high-fidelity device and user recognition in the mobile space will have a strong competitive advantage over display platforms that try to play in the mobile space. Second, the LiquidM technology stack is the best I’ve seen and has the potential to revolutionize the Mobile Ad Management segment and become the de facto standard for programmatic mobile advertising. Most importantly, the LiquidM team is amazing. These people are the most talented, committed and ambitious you’ll find in our industry, and they have what it takes to win. I’m proud to be able to help lead the company and team.”

“We are thrilled to have someone as well connected and respected as Julian Tol join our expanding team.
