He will be reporting into APMEA chief revenue officer Phil Townend.

Williams said of his appointment: “It’s fantastic to be joining the team at Unruly, which is such a well-known and respected brand in the ad tech industry. I am looking forward to my new role and harnessing my knowledge of the APAC markets in order to help to build the portfolio of Unruly in this region.”

We very much value advanced knowledge of the in-app and programmatic ecosystem, and Toby brings unrivalled knowledge and experience across both the Asian and Australian media markets.”
