Michael Levine.
Michael Levine has been appointed head of APAC sales for Uber Advertising.
Based in Australia, Levine will lead Uber Advertising's sales and operations across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and India.
As Uber Advertising's first international lead, Levine was appointed head of advertising for ANZ in 2022 and played a pivotal role in launching Uber Advertising's first international market.
"Uber Advertising connects brands with consumers in real-world moments that drive action and leave a meaningful impression," said Megan Ramm, global head of sales for Uber Advertising.
"Michael has been instrumental in building our Uber Advertising business in ANZ from the ground up."
In his new role, Levine will oversee a rapidly growing team of more than 50 sellers across the region, with a focus on expanding advertiser relationships, enhancing insights and measurement capabilities and collaborating with local teams to ensure product localisation for each market.
"The APAC region spans an extraordinary range of markets, cultures, and capabilities. With that comes a wealth of untapped potential and exciting customer challenges to solve," Levine said.
"Uber Advertising has proven to be an indispensable partner to APAC brands, with innovation and agility at the heart of our team."
The company recently announced the expansion of Ride Offers on Journey Ads to Australia, a new ad product that lets brands reward Uber riders with high-value offers on their next eligible ride.
