DoubleVerify Hires to Strengthen UK Commercial Team

Digital media measurement firm DoubleVerify has announced three senior UK appointments: Carl Kisseih as Lead Enterprise Sales Director, Owen Boyne as Enterprise Sales Director, and Chris Mort as Global Client Partner.

DV, owned since 2017 by Providence Equity Partners, offers MRC-accredited software that measures and verifies the quality and effectiveness of digital ads. Last month the company paid $85m in cash to acquire marketing attribution specialist Rockerbox, and announced revenue up 15% to $656.8m in the full year 2024.

The latest hires build on the Rockerbox buy as well as that of digital campaign optimization specialist Scibids in 2023, and will help to scale provision of these services for clients in EMEA.

Kisseih (pictured centre) brings more than fifteen years of experience driving client success for marketing, media and ad tech companies including Rakuten Marketing and Valueclick, and served most recently as International Director of Agencies and Advertisers at Nielsen Marketing Cloud, leading EMEA sales activity for the ratings giant's SaaS, audience targeting and measurement solutions.

Boyne (pictured above) has experience in media sales, for high profile UK publishers including News UK and most recently The Telegraph, where he was Head of Programmatic Sales. Together with Kisseih he will strengthen DV's commercial profile and its presence in the EMEA region.

Mort (pictured below) brings around twenty years of experience from firms including Mindshare, Microsoft and Spotify - in the last of these he was international client partner for CPG and retail brands. In his new role he will cultivate global client relationships to strengthen DV's position in brand safety, verification and measurement.

DoubleVerify's SVP and Managing Director EMEA Nick Reid comments: 'We are delighted to welcome Carl, Owen, and Chris to our team. Their appointment comes at an important time, as DV scales its industry-leading position. Their extensive experience and talent will be invaluable as we continue our rapid growth and ambition in the EMEA and global markets'.
