Both executives bring decades of dynamic leadership experience from media and technology sectors. Their experience will help optimize TapClicks' resources to drive industry-leading revenue growth and market penetration.

"2019 was a landmark year for the AdTech and MarTech industries. We saw a number of acquisitions and unprecedented demand for solutions that combine analytics, intelligence and reporting capabilities," said Babak Hedayati, CEO and Co-founder, TapClicks. "The ability to deliver these capabilities infused with advanced AI and the largest number of built-in data sources is why TapClicks has emerged as an industry leader, particularly for agencies, brands and media companies, including broadcast, radio, and newspapers. Kevin and Marielle are joining the company at a time where their presence will become part of the fabric of our innovation, dedication to customers, and long term success."

Kevin Thompson, Chief Financial Officer, joined TapClicks to lead the execution of its financial strategy with a focus on building the resources that will drive rapid expansion across advertising and marketing industries. He has over 20 years of leadership experience in technology with a strong background in scaling enterprise SaaS companies. Previously, Thompson served as CFO of Selligent, a global SaaS business in the marketing automation space. He was also CFO for Elastica (acquired by Blue Coat), HEAT Software (acquired by Clearlake Capital), and Vitria Technology. He has a BS in engineering from Stanford and an MBA from Columbia.

"In that same spirit, Marielle's core belief, that what matters most for a business always connects back to its people - its employees, partners, and customers - has never been more true. With her leadership, we look forward to growing a team that will share in our dedication to our customers and each other."
