Whitbread has more than 17 years of media experience across various ad tech, digital and programmatic businesses including DoubleVerify and most recently at Flashtalking. In those roles Whitbread has been working with major brands and agencies plus collaborating with various DSP’s, SSP’s, and ad server partners. He will be joined by Mansi Garg who will take on the role of Commercial Director, ANZ. Mansi, who spent many years with GroupM in Australia, was most recently working with Scibids in India.

The hiring of Whitbread and Garg comes at a time of quick expansion for Scibids, who recently announced the hiring of in-market teams in Japan as well as India. Rahul Vasudev, APAC MD of Scibids mentioned, “Australia is a market leader in adoption of new technology, and given the market dynamics around media costs, desire for transparency and talent, an Artificial Intelligence solution like Scibids is a perfect fit. We are excited to be able to officially launch in Australia and New Zealand with two highly passionate and experienced individuals like James and Mansi.”

Whitbread said of his appointment, “Both Mansi and I are very excited to be joining Scibids at such a crucial time for the company’s expansion globally and regionally. Scibids is a unique proposition in the fact that it removes the guesswork. Programmatic businesses get an upfront view of the likelihood of the AI improving their results. But in addition to improving media efficiency, Scibids brings a huge amount of automation benefits to the trading units as well. Given the shortage of Programmatic Traders in the AUNZ market, this brings massive efficiency to the operations as well.”

Given Scibids’ focus on cookie-less and non-privacy invading tech, as well as new and upcoming product releases including optimization towards Attention Metrics, 2022 is sure to be an exciting year for Scibids in Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.
