“I’m incredibly excited to join Captify at such a pivotal moment for the programmatic industry. The Australian market has taken to the Captify brand and product really well over the years thanks to the founding team and I look forward to taking the business to the next stage of its evolution in Australia as the programmatic ecosystem is rejuvenated with new technologies like Captify’s Search Intelligence,” said Hadida.
