The company said the new appointment is in line with its plans to spearhead the growth of Light Reaction’s pay-for-performance media model. Boersma will work with advertisers, publishers and partners to “deliver accountable results for global brands”.

The company also named Karl Elken as managing director of the Americas.

“Karl and Auke have both had phenomenal success in launching major digital businesses to the advertising and publishing communities and we look forward to their leadership in driving Light Reaction’s growth in the Americas and APAC markets,” said Paul Dolan, general manager of Light Reaction.
