• The Australia and New Zealand team has also announced a slew of promotions
InMobi has announced the expansion of Richard O’Sullivan’s role as VP and general manager, ANZ to double-hat and become VP of agency partnerships in Asia Pacific (APAC), in addition to the expanded charters for the local team in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).
In his expanded role, he will leverage his expertise in forming long-term strategic agency partnerships within ANZ, to help drive deeper and more extensive partnerships across the entire APAC region.
O’Sullivan will work closely with Rishi Bedi, managing director for APAC.
Bedi said: “Before rejoining InMobi to lead the ANZ team in 2019, Richard held senior roles across InMobi’s EMEA, Asia and North American operations.”
“He has a wealth of experience in forging global agency relationships which will be invaluable in taking our APAC partnership activity to the next level whilst continuing to lead the ANZ team,” he added.
Within the ANZ team, Matthew McGinley has been promoted to head of publisher and telco development, ANZ (formerly a senior manager), while Valentina Lizzi has been promoted to senior manager – platforms, ANZ (formerly lead account strategist, ANZ) to work closely with demand-side platform and agency trading desks.

Additionally, Crisna Hai and Vasudev Kittur see expanded charters with Hai now leading Independent Agencies and Performance Advertisers across ANZ and Kittur leading the Agency Development for Victoria, South Australia, and New Zealand with focus on Omnicom, GroupM, Publicis, IPG, Dentsu and Havas.
The string of promotions comes as InMobi continues to expand its programmatic business in ANZ via the InMobi Exchange.
Earlier in May, the company launched Curated, by InMobi – a series of privacy-compliant customised private marketplaces on the InMobi Exchange to help mobile advertisers in Australia and New Zealand better reach and engage with relevant niche audiences.
By empowering and investing in talent across the ANZ region, InMobi is well positioned and ready to embrace the significant growth potential that its technology leadership, deep in-market expertise, and unique culture have to offer.
