“We are very excited to announce the addition of two great executives to our advisory board and the appointments of Chip Correra and Jackie Paulino in the roles of CTO and SVP/Product,” said David George, Pixability CEO. “Pixability is poised for the next phase of growth as audiences move away from linear TV and toward YouTube and CTV, and our platform gives advertisers the most efficient way to reach those audiences. With Chip and Jackie leading our engineering and product teams, and with Tony and Andrew joining as advisors, we’re looking to accelerate our innovation and continue to scale our business globally.”
