Even with the strength of the company, its products and teams have demonstrated to date, it retains almost untapped potential as a digital disrupter. I look forward to building our partnerships and reinforcing and expanding the long-term relationships across the media ecosystem,” said Zadgan.

“My previous interactions as well as the reputation of carsales as a great business with great people, was a strong attraction for me. From day one, I have experienced an entrepreneurial and natural, down to earth atmosphere, throughout the business which is energising to be a part of.”
