Komli SEA MD Mathew Ward resigns

Gulshan Verma, chief revenue officer for Komli Media, will lead the SEA team in the interim as a permanent replacement is sought.

Prior to his current role, Ward was chief revenue officer at Komli. In the previous year, he has helped Komli SEA's revenue grow more than 60 per cent year-on-year, and launched several new solutions including Komli Play and Komli's sales partnership with Twitter in the region.

Before Komli, Ward was the CEO of Admax Network, which was acquired by Komli Media in 2012. As one of the founding team members of Admax in 2007, he had helped grow the business into the largest ad network in Southeast Asia prior to the acquisition.

Previously, Ward also worked in the UK, Japan and Australia in various technology startups.

Ward told Campaign Asia-Pacific that he decided to take some time off from work and pursue a new path later. He said after Admax being acquired by Komli, he stayed with the company through integration and is happy to see that Komli has been growing significantly since then.
