Approximately, this purchase combines 100 sales and operations professionals with Adknowledge Asia’s existing teams located in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
Adknowledge Asia’s APAC, which already includes India, Hong Kong and South Korea has also added two new markets including Thailand and Philippines.
In the newly combined business, Krishna Krovi (formerly MD of Adknowledge Asia), Damien Lavin (formerly VP of SEA and ANZ, Komli) and Matt Sutton (formerly VP of Social, Komli) will run the APAC sales and business operations.
