NEW YORK, July 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beeswax, the industry’s first customizable programmatic buying platform, has experienced rapid growth in its client count while more than doubling its revenue and staff in the last year. Beeswax also recognized a need to attract top talent to continue this growth at scale and has appointed industry veteran Canaan Schladale-Zink as Senior Vice President of Global Sales to further drive those efforts.

As former GM of the Americas at Sizmek, Schladale-Zink helped its ad-serving and programmatic buy-side business grow to over $100 million in revenue over the course of his seven-year tenure. At Beeswax, Schladale-Zink will be an integral leader to the global sales organization, providing invaluable experience as the company scales against this phase of rapid growth.

“From my first conversation with the team I recognized that Beeswax would be a new leader in our space, building the ideal platform for modern programmatic marketers and media companies,” said Schladale-Zink. “The unwavering product and business vision, combined with the remarkable talent and ability to execute is something that I am excited to be a part of.”
