"We have made positive progress over the past year, increasing revenue and driving the adoption amongst top-tier partners in key markets. As we look ahead, our focus is on scaling that model with an approach that will expand our footprint. Philip is certainly the person to help us create the architecture that will define the in-content space, and we are delighted that he will be part of our continued growth."
