Senior Account Executive

OpenX are the world's leading independent advertising exchange and one of the most successful adTech platforms of the past decade.

The Challenge

OpenX has been expanding its European footprint over the past 12 months. The VP of EMEA Sales had been able to put in place some strategic deals with some of the world's leading media agencies and, because of that traction, they needed to hire an experienced Senior Sales Manager based in London. The VP of EMEA wanted to bring in somebody with strong programmatic knowledge and a specific set of contacts to benefit OpenX's growth plans.

The Numbers

We conducted over thirty interviews, shortlisted ten candidates, submitted six candidates and OpenX interviewed four.

The Outcome

The hire was made with four weeks with a very happy Client and candidate.
