Meet the Team

"I joined Adthena in 2020 as an Account Manager with a background in Media and Publishing, and I am now leading Account Management EMEA with a skilled team of 5. It has been amazing to have been part of Adthena’s journey over the last 4 years. The people and the culture are truly special. I take a lot of pride in the growth of Adthena and the development of my team and have learned so much along the way."

"With 15 years of experience in search, I began my journey agency-side at Coast Digital, then transitioned in-house to BeatThatQuote.com (later acquired by Google). At Google, I spearheaded marketing efforts for global comparison products before joining Criteo to pioneer Predictive Search for Google Shopping. I hold an MSc in Global Marketing from the London School of Business & Finance and completed Google’s Marketing Academy at the University of Pennsylvania." 

"I oversee all finance functions here at Adthena, including accounting, FP&A, reporting, and compliance. Before joining Adthena, I spent 3 years at Deloitte, where I excelled as a consultant in the M&A Tax team. I'm an ACA chartered accountant and hold a 1st class degree in Economics and Finance from the University of Exeter."

"I joined Adthena in March 2022, bringing 20 years of experience to the team. Prior to joining Adthena, I spent 10 years in AdTech/Martech at IPG Mediabrands and later Acxiom.

I'm deeply tech-savvy and have a genuine passion for data analytics. In my downtime, you'll often find me traveling, playing badminton, or seeking out a good coffee from a local café."

"I appreciate that Adthena's core values align with own personal values. Adthena's "Get Shit Done" is an essential practice for me as working mom as I optimize my time. One of the best parts of Adthena is getting to know our clients, not only their company goals but aligning with them as a partner to help them to do their job better."

"I feel very lucky to be an Adthenian. I always feel part of a team that is working towards the same goals. Our culture promotes flexibility, freedom, transparency and collaboration which makes Adthena an amazing place to work."

“The core values of Adthena are deeply ingrained throughout the entire organization. From top to bottom. Not just printed on a poster. All of the values are important but the one that my team relies on is the expectation that we are “Smart and Always Improving.” This makes feedback flow freely for application and refinement. In the fast moving world of technology and search marketing, it’s critical to move fast, stay nimble, and learn from each iteration.” 

"As a Lead Technical Architect, I concentrate on crafting and constructing Adthena's data platform while seamlessly integrating it with our tools and products. With over a decade of experience in the Ad Tech industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. Holding an MSc degree in Computer Science from The University of Edinburgh, I've also authored a book titled Scala Design Patterns. My passion for technology and data extends to contributing to popular open-source projects. I leverage my expertise to nurture and empower my teams, aiding them in developing efficient and elegant software solutions. At Adthena, I highly value our talented team and dynamic culture."

"Coming from a Media/Digital recruitment background having worked at industry leaders such as EssenceMedia & Omnicom, I joined Adthena in 2021 to lead on Talent Acquisition initiatives. Adthena's people, value proposition and opportunity to work autonomously while having the ability to shape recruitment was a big attraction. My focus is to attract best-in-class future Adthenians to contribute to our ever growing success!"

"As a frustrated golfer turned tech enthusiast, I've spent over a decade honing my skills in the industry. At Adthena, I've risen from Senior Account Executive to lead UK & US Sales, heading a team of six. My passion lies in helping clients tackle Search challenges for significant business impact. Leveraging my past roles aiding customers in tech solutions, I played a key role in our 20% YoY ARR growth in 2023. My strategic approach, fueled by MEDDPICC, guides evaluations and aligns processes with customer preferences, ensuring a seamless experience for clients."

"Throughout my career, I've navigated through network agencies, independent agencies, and even launched and managed my own agency. As the Head of Agency Partnerships, I get to harness my 15+ years of experience working with and for agencies and clients, my passion for fostering relationships, and desire to constantly learn."

"After dedicating seven years to office management and operations for creative agencies across London, I transitioned into SaaS technical support. Joining Adthena as a Senior Customer Support Specialist, I swiftly ascended to Regional Manager. Relocating to Austin in 2019, I now hold the role of Director of Customer Experience, overseeing technical onboarding and support for our global clientele."

"All of our Adthenians treat one another with genuine positive regard and respect. It's fantastic to work with a community full of talented, like-minded people who are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work."

"I joined Adthena as an Account Executive back in 2016 when there were just 14 Adthenians (we’re now over 150!). Since then, I've risen through the ranks, becoming a core contributor to new revenue and business growth, from $2 million to over $20 million in ARR.

Additionally, I've dedicated time to teaching gifted children electronics."

“I believe that Adthena has the potential for tremendous growth. The success of many enterprise companies rises and falls based on how well they do in Google Ads, and Adthena is the essential tool that helps them figure out how to be successful in search and really fight that battle and win.”

I have learned a huge amount from working with some incredibly smart people across the business. From a Customer perspective I take great pride in the strong partnerships we have built with so many great brands and agencies which keeps every day interesting."

"I joined Adthena in 2015 as a Senior Customer Success Manager, when our team fit into a small shared office in Shoreditch. Over the years, I’ve worked with global brands and leading agencies, seeing our client portfolio grow to over £20 million in ARR. As I advanced, my role evolved to oversee Customer Success and Account Management in the UK, and Customer Success in the US. I’ve collaborated with brilliant minds and observed many careers flourish, including my own. I take immense pride in the service and strategic support we provide to our customers, evidenced by our long-standing client relationships."

"I joined Adthena in 2015, back when there were only a handful of us working out of a shared office space in trendy Shoreditch. Working within the Customer department, my role has evolved over the years, enabling me to gain experience working closely with both clients directly and on the agency side (including Dentsu, Group M, and many more!). This varied experience across different verticals, agencies, and client tiers has given me valuable insights that I utilize to train and support my team in my Senior Manager role."

"I'm responsible for driving growth in our Asia-Pacific markets, where over 150 brands rely on Adthena. With 13 years of commercial experience under my belt, I've worked extensively with competitive intelligence platforms like Hitwise (acquired by Experian) and Radian6 (acquired by Salesforce for their Marketing Cloud). My genuine desire to help colleagues and clients achieve results drives me every day, and I'm proud to be known as the life and soul of our Sydney office."

I leverage my knowledge and experience to guide the Data team in creating efficient solutions, thereby shaping the architecture behind our product."
