Outbrain has appointed Chris Oxley to the newly created role of country manager for Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
Oxley, with more than 18 years of experience in digital media, will oversee the development and implementation of Outbrain’s commercial strategy along with driving new business opportunities to accelerate revenue growth across the region.
His responsibilities include building and maintaining strategic partnerships, amplifying Outbrain’s value proposition, and managing the sales teams.
Oxley was national head of digital sales for Foxtel Media, where he launched Programmatic TV and led the team to commercialise advertising on the streaming platform Binge. Prior to that, he had tenures at Yahoo and BSkyB.
He will report to Amrita de la Peña, Outbrain's MD of APAC based in Singapore.
Oxley said Outbrain has quickly become a leader in digital media, connecting advertisers with premium audiences in contextually relevant environments.
"I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to lead the ANZ and Singapore teams, solidifying our role as the primary engagement partner for some of the world’s top digital media companies," he said.
De la Peña said Oxley is a best-in-class sales leader.
"He leads from the front and has a remarkable track record of empowering sales teams to surpass their targets," she said.
"He possesses extensive expertise with a passion in digital media and he strives to build an incredible sales team who are just as passionate as he is.”
