De Nardis, who has been a member of LoopMe's data advisory board, succeeds Greg Coleman, who becomes a member of LoopMe's advisory board.
“We are delighted to welcome Mainardo as LoopMe's Chairman,” said LoopMe CEO Stephen Upstone. “LoopMe has had a banner year of global growth, despite economic market uncertainty, and we are confident that de Nardis’ expertise will guide our continued success in providing advertising value for our many brand, agency and publisher clients worldwide.”
