- The Rubicon Project (RUBI -0.4%) has buffed its sales leadership with the help of former Microsoft and Criteo execs.
- The company named Microsoft veteran Harry Patz Jr. as its chief revenue officer, taking over a newly reorganized global sales team, including not only execution and strategy but also client and account services among other responsibilities.
- Patz was a partner at Microsoft and his last two positions were "heavily rooted and concentrated" in mobile, the company notes.
- It also tapped Rob Deichert as head of global revenue operations. He'll be responsible for managing revenue and sales ad operations globally, and most recently was managing director of North American operations at Criteo.
