Channel Factory Grows Team

Channel Factory’s global growth has fueled the need to ensure the company has an executive team in place to deliver against strategic goals. Adding to our leadership team is a part of our growth strategy to ensure we are creating the right leadership structure to continue to drive significant growth in EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.

In the US, we are promoting and hiring key members to the sales, strategy and client solutions teams to deliver the right strategies to our key advertisers. Channel Factory’s global growth has prompted new hires and promotions necessary to bolster the executive team in order to deliver against strategic goals and forward-looking visions. The key moves are outlined below:

Jed Hartman has been promoted to the role of President, Americas. He will be overseeing sales, marketing, and client solutions to create an end to end team capable of delivering  comprehensive solutions for brands and agencies. Hartman joined Channel Factory in 2019 as Chief Commercial Officer, bringing experience leading commercial and revenue teams at Washington Post, Time Inc., and Dennis Publishing. He will now expand his remit to further drive growth in the Americas.  Jed’s cutting edge experience across advertising, publishing and corporate brand strategy drive awareness, adoption, and customer satisfaction with global brands and agencies for Channel Factory.

Mattias Spetz now expands his management role and is President of EMEA and APAC.
