The Trade Desk has added three new appointments to its senior leadership team across ANZ and APAC, as the advertising technology company looks to strengthen its regional growth and client relationships.
The appointments come just months after the company announced plans to cut approximately 15 per cent of its global workforce in September, making the latest leadership changes an interesting next chapter for the business.
The new appointments see Ellyse Kostoglou step into the role of GM of business development, ANZ, Stephanie Famolaro promoted to VP of growth, APAC, and Jonathan Munschi move into a newly created role focused on business transformation and CMO consultancy.
Kostoglou takes over the ANZ business development role from Famolaro, who has spent the past nine years helping grow The Trade Desk’s presence in Australia and New Zealand.
She brings a decade of agency experience and four years at Amazon to the position, alongside four years at The Trade Desk. During her time with the company, Kostoglou has led major global partnerships from its UK office before spending the past 12 months working in the Australian market.
In her new position, she will oversee the ANZ Business Development team, with a focus on strengthening relationships with brands and agencies and driving regional growth.
Meanwhile, Famolaro’s promotion will see her take responsibility for new business development across the broader Asia Pacific region, building on her work growing The Trade Desk’s ANZ operation.
Munschi, meanwhile, has transitioned into the newly created role of Business Transformation and CMO Consultancy, where he will work with senior marketing leaders on navigating the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
The position will focus heavily on AI and emerging technologies, helping marketers identify ways to streamline operations, improve advertising effectiveness and translate new capabilities into measurable business outcomes.
