Accelerated Growth and Development
Theimann and Alonso join Mojiva, Inc. at a pivotal time in the growth and development of the company, and their appointments continue a series of strategic initiatives Mojiva, Inc. has made recently, including the announcement of two new industry leading products, Mocean for Advertisers and the Mocean Mobile Exchange. Mocean for Advertisers is a mobile ad-serving product that enables easy integration with brands, agencies, demand-side platforms and trading desks, and allows leading advertisers to directly plan, buy, monitor and manage their mobile ad campaigns from one single dashboard to ensure the highest ROI for each impression. The Mocean Mobile Exchange will be the world's largest mobile ad marketplace in existence and will leverage all of the demand-side sources already integrated within the Mocean Mobile platform in a parallel bid to create liquidity in the mobile ad marketplace. It will increase fill rates and revenues, and standardize the way that Mocean Mobile publishers, networks, ad agencies and their trading desks access inventory within marketplaces.
Theimann's most recent roles include CFO at TargetSpot, Inc., the largest digital audio advertising network, and Senior VP/Chief Procurement Officer at Hachette Filipacchi Media, a magazine and digital publisher subsidiary of the Lagardere Group.
