Les Hollander promoted to CEO at Global's DAX in North America - Music Business Worldwide
Les Hollander has been appointed CEO, North America, for Global-owned digital advertising platform, DAX.
The move promotes Hollander from Chief Growth Officer, bringing DAX divisions in the US and Canada together under his leadership.
Meanwhile, Matt Cutair is moving from CEO of DAX US to take up a key advisory position with the company.
Cutair has led DAX US since its launch in 2017, following Global’s acquisition of AudioHQ where he was co-founder and chief executive.
Hollander was appointed Chief Growth Officer for DAX North America in May 2020.
NPR, Wondery and Sounder were added to Dax’s roster of digital audio publishers in North America, which includes SoundCloud, TuneIn, AccuRadio, Audiomack and more.
DAX is SoundCloud’s exclusive sales partner in the UK through an agreement that has been in place since 2018. It expanded its advertising agreement in March to include Canada.
In his new role, Hollander continues to report into Guy Jones, Product, Data and Digital Director for DAX based in the UK at Global.
Hollander has over 30 years of expertise in digital audio advertising.
He joined DAX in March 2020 from Spotify, where he was responsible for building the organization’s digital audio monetization business through direct, programmatic and automated channels, as Head of Global Audio Monetization.
Prior to joining Spotify, Hollander was a VP of Ad Revenue at Pandora and held senior management positions at Gannett, CBS Radio, and Clear Channel Communications.
Hollander also co-chaired the United States IAB Audio Committee from 2016-2020 and has sat on several industry boards throughout his career including the Mobile Marketing Association.
