San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 11, 2014 -- Ampush, a leading ad technology company and Facebook Strategic Preferred Marketing Developer (sPMD), today announced that it has appointed Rick Cotton, an ad industry veteran with deep experience building and scaling fast-growing tech sales organizations, as its new CRO.
Cotton brings over 15 years of experience and a solid track record of leading diverse digital organizations for disruptive companies in early stage areas, including native, programmatic and digital audio advertising. Most recently, he served as head of global advertising for Sequoia-backed TuneIn, a popular digital radio app, where he led global sales, platform partnerships and ad operations. Prior to that, he was a SVP/GM at Monster, where he launched and grew the company’s consumer advertising business while overseeing strategic operations.
In his new role, Cotton will be responsible for the expansion of Ampush’s national sales team, and will work to ensure continued world-class customer service as the company scales. He’ll also play a key role in further developing and executing Ampush’s go-to-market strategy, working to continually collect market feedback in order to drive product enhancements and innovations.
“We’re thrilled to have Rick join our executive team and drive our strategic client relationships as well as go-to-market and product strategy,” said Jesse Pujji, CEO at Ampush. “He brings a rare combination of leadership, analytical rigor and client-first focus that is a perfect fit for Ampush’s DNA.
