Romio Hires Chris Budden As Chief Operating Officer

NEW YORK, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Romio, a NYC-based start-up founded by CEO Tarik Sansal, has hired Chris Budden to spearhead operations and marketing to establish the brand, its culture and foster growth of the organization.  Scheduled to officially launch early fall 2017, Romio is a powerful local services platform based on trusted recommendations through friends, family and experts.  Budden will play a pivotal role in implementing strategic marketing tactics to drive adoption and awareness starting in New York City and gradually expanding across the U.S. and globally.

With a soft launch currently underway, Romio will change the way consumers search, discover and book local services – challenging generic search engine research and taking out the "anonymous" from reviews.  For the self-employed community, the platform is a gateway to identify and engage with new customers and increase prosperity.

"Chris brings incredible passion, industry knowledge and deep experience managing integrated teams to Romio," said CEO Tarik Sansal of Romio.  "With award-winning advertising campaigns under his belt, Chris has the right balance of business acumen, creativity and cultural awareness that will help us build an influential global brand inside and out."

Chris Budden was most recently the Group Account Director at Havas New York overseeing a portfolio of highly creative brands, including Dos Equis.  Prior to Havas, Chris led teams at Grey, McCann and mcgarrybowen, managing an impressive roster of marquee brands including MasterCard, Verizon, Staples, Canon and many more.

"I'm joining Romio with great aspirations to grow this new brand into the future," said Budden.  "Tarik Sansal's vision for building a mobile platform to accelerate digital commerce, anchored in trust, is incredibly timely and appealing in today's environment.  With powerful global investors backing the platform and a solid core team and partners, Romio will be a game-changing product."
