Well, it’s 2009 and I’m so excited to kick off the year by announcing that Prashant Mehta has joined us at Komli Media as Chief Operating Officer. Prashant joins us from Yahoo! Inc. where he was a senior executive responsible for much of the emerging markets business including India, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Wow, it’s a big world out there!
As our business has been growing rapidly (we grew about 300% over the prior year), I have been working aggressively to build our leadership team. We’ve had great folks like Vaishali, Amit and Satish join us recently and we’re still looking to take our company to the next level.
I met Prashant at a small coffee shop about six months back, and we just hit it off! He seemed like my kind of guy — really focused on motivating and working with great people, interested in having real impact in building a business and lots of great insights about how the digital world around us is evolving. I am so excited to welcome him to our team and work together as we build our business. No doubt, times are more challenging than they were a year ago, but it’s at times like this that senior leaders like Prashant, Akshay, Amit, Satish, and Vaishali have management capabilities and insights to steer through that, and hopefully profit from the current economic downturn!
