Lotame, the leading independent data management platform (DMP), today announced it has strengthened its global executive team across APAC and EMEA, elevating three team members to key roles. In APAC, Evgeny Popov has been named Vice President, Data Solutions, APAC. Additionally, Gaurav Seth has been elevated to Managing Director, India. In EMEA, Lotame has named Alison Harding, Vice President, Data Solutions, EMEA.
“Evgeny, Gaurav and Alison are some of the brightest minds in advertising technology today,” said Andy Monfried, Founder and CEO of Lotame. “They’ve done tremendous work in their current roles at Lotame, and we know they’ll continue their success and help the company build on its rapid growth. We’re fortunate to have them on board.”
Popov, Seth and Harding will serve pivotal roles in helping Lotame expand its growth in their given regions, as well as globally. They’ll also help scale Lotame’s Data Exchange (LDX) via data acquisition deals and strategic partnerships. Lotame’s LDX — the most comprehensive and trusted data exchange in the world — has seen demand skyrocket as the need for high-quality third-party data has exploded among digital marketers, agencies, publishers and trading desks alike.

The markets are reacting to what we can provide.”

A foremost data advocate for Lotame in APAC, Evgeny Popov was also promoted to Vice President following a successful two-year stint as Senior Director of Data Solutions, APAC — where he played a key role in the company’s growth in the region, doubling revenue.

Gaurav Seth joined Lotame in 2015 as the company’s India Country Manager, and has been a key part of helping Lotame grow exponentially within the market. Seth has been an industry veteran in digital advertising and has spent the last eight years in the data management space alone.
“India is one of the most exciting markets in digital advertising today,” said Seth. “Our growth here has been substantial and is driven by the localization of our DMP. We have partnerships with key telcos that are delivering tremendous value to advertisers.”
Alison Harding was promoted to Vice President following a three-year stint as Head of Data Sales EMEA for Lotame — where she presided over impressive revenue and business growth throughout the region. In addition to over 20 years of experience in sales management across different categories of business including mobile, desktop and publishing, Harding has served in a variety of leadership roles at companies such as Amobee, Clickbrokers and Northcliffe.
“It’s great to be part of such a forward-thinking company as Lotame,” said Harding. “Each day, we’re trying to bring new solutions to help clients better understand their consumers and deliver next-level campaign performance.
