Fractional leadership & interim management.

When you need experienced AdTech and media executives inside your organization—not just a slide deck—we step in as fractional leaders or interim managers to build teams, scale platforms, and guide critical transitions.

Experienced operators on your side of the table.

Having founded, scaled, and run one of Europe’s leading programmatic platforms as CEO and COO, we know what it takes to lead technical and commercial organizations through growth and change.

Fractional C-Level & VP Leadership

We step in on a flexible, embedded basis (e.g. 1–3 days per week) as Fractional CPO, CRO, or VP AdTech/Monetization—providing experienced executive leadership without the delay and overhead of a full-time hire.

Interim Management for New Business Units

When launching a new Retail Media network, Connected TV unit, or programmatic monetization business, we take operational responsibility from day one—building the setup, processes, and team until permanent leadership is in place.

Transformation & Post-Merger Execution

During platform migrations, commercial restructurings, or post-merger integrations, we lead cross-functional product, engineering, and sales teams to keep day-to-day momentum and deliver clear milestones.
