Global sales and marketing leader brings extensive track record for success to Tumri as Chief Revenue Officer
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Tumri, the leading provider of dynamic and intelligent display advertising solutions, announced Michael Peralta will join the company as chief revenue officer. On the heels of Tumri’s recent hire of former Yahoo! executive, Jeff McCombs as chief financial officer, Peralta joins Tumri’s management team from Platform-A, where he served as Senior Vice President, North America and Global Accounts and was responsible for over $1 billion in revenue. As CRO of Tumri, Michael is responsible for managing all sales and marketing functions, including customer experience, business development and global expansion efforts. He will divide his time between corporate headquarters Mountain View, New York and international efforts.
“This industry is clamoring for meaningful advertising experiences that compel consumers to act and deliver tangible results for advertisers. Many brands still struggle with how to make their creatives successful in various scenarios and among different audiences. A key part of my role as chief revenue officer is to educate and inform the marketplace about Tumri’s dynamic ad optimization platform and support the company’s global expansion,” said Peralta. “Joining Tumri at this juncture is an incredible opportunity for me to be a part of the company’s transformation from breakthrough dynamic display advertising platform to global leader in online display advertising solutions. I have been fortunate to see many platforms and solutions during my career, and the Tumri solution sits in an enviable position to fundamentally transform this space and deliver unprecedented value to advertisers, publishers and consumers alike.”
“Tumri continues to build our fast-growing team of A-list talent with the hire of Michael Peralta as chief revenue officer. Michael’s long and impressive track record in digital media and proven ability to increase revenue, build client relationships and manage global sales and marketing teams will be invaluable to Tumri as we aim to establish ourselves firmly as a global advertising leader,” said Calvin Lui, president and CEO, Tumri. “Michael’s experience in managing hundreds of employees and billion dollar revenue streams, along with his recognized interactive advertising knowledge – from both a branding and performance perspective – will help lead Tumri to the next level of success.”
Prior to his recent role at Platform-A, Michael worked at Advertising.com where he led the company’s national advertiser relations and market research teams. Previously he served as Managing Director of Western Europe for Advertising.com and was responsible for the corporate performance and growth strategy for the United Kingdom, France and Spain. During his tenure, the company’s London office more than tripled the size of its staff, doubled its number of advertiser clients, and tripled its penetration within comScore Media Metrix’s top 100 publisher list. These accomplishments led Revolution Magazine to name Peralta one of the “Top 50 Most Influential Leaders in the Digital Sector.” Michael holds a BS degree in civil/environmental engineering from RPI and did graduate work in Management and Public Policy at New York University and Northwestern University.
