VideoAmp Continues U.S. Growth, Appoints Amy McGovern as VP of Strategic Sales
Santa Monica, Calif. (PRWEB) September 25, 2015 -- VideoAmp, a software and data platform for TV and video marketers, today appointed Amy McGovern as vice president of strategic sales. In this new role, McGovern will lead cross-screen sales efforts in the eastern region and head the newly opened office in New York. Additionally, in its continued growth across the U.S., VideoAmp is opening offices in Chicago and Detroit and expanding its San Francisco team.
“Amy’s background fits very well with VideoAmp’s mission to provide software and data solutions for advertisers as video consumption behavior is proliferating across screens,” said Jay Prasad, chief business officer of VideoAmp. “Amy has expertise and relationships that will provide immediate strategic value to our clients and partners."
“As multichannel marketing is on the rise, working for a company like VideoAmp that sits at the forefront of cross-screen optimization technologies was a natural and exciting next step for me,” said McGovern. “VideoAmp is built to adapt to the fast changing business of TV and digital data-driven advertising.”
McGovern joins VideoAmp from Fox Networks Group where she was the vice president of digital video ad sales. In her ten years at Fox, she successfully launched Fox Cable Entertainment’s TV Everywhere ad sales solution FXNOW. She created new revenue streams across devices and networks including FX, FXX, FXM, and National Geographic channels.
