Jakovljevic will report directly to Jeremy Fain, the CEO and co-founder of Cognitiv.
"Jana is an industry veteran in in programmatic and emerging advertising technology solutions," said Fain. "Jana's experience will help Cognitiv to further its goal of using Deep Learning to predict human behavior for marketers. Her work, bringing in new and innovative data partners as well as finding new uses for our NeuralMind technology, will drive the continued improvement and effectiveness of all our capabilities, including Cognitiv's programmatic media and dynamic audience scoring products."

A neural network as trained by Cognitiv can make accurate predictions with all of that data, well beyond any technology which exists today. They have proven their NeuralMind can optimize campaigns more efficiently having already increased ROI for marketers across several verticals. I look forward to supporting Cognitiv's innovation and growth by identifying additional opportunities to help marketers harness the power of this cutting-edge science."
