" Richard Ottoy brings a wealth of invaluable experience to Sharethrough's global expansion plans," said JF Cote, CEO & President of Sharethrough. "With Richard at the helm of our EMEA team, Sharethrough will continue to provide seamless service to our clients with European interests while opening the door to new partnerships throughout the region".

Ottoy will be responsible for overseeing the EMEA region, utilizing his key leadership and business acumen to lead all departments as a cultural leader and head administrator. This expansion lays the groundwork for Sharethrough to increase the company's overall global footprint, as the UK is projected to increase programmatic ad spending for a third successive quarter at 5.2%, according to the IPA Bellwether Report.

"The opportunity to work for a company that is investing so heavily in its product roadmap is very exciting, and I jumped at the chance to lead Sharethrough's EMEA expansion efforts," Ottoy said. "It's thrilling to be part of such a growth-driven team, and I look forward to having the EMEA office serve as the blueprint for additional Sharethrough offices around the globe."
