In the US, Ponce collaborated closely with the commercial teams, running numerous digital ad campaigns. “She also has a deep understanding of Yahoo products, working with project managers at the company to test and verify new product features,” says Yahoo Platforms NZ head of sales Arnaud Calonne.
Ponce said: “I am excited to join the New Zealand team and explore a new country and culture.
“My background in programmatic supply and optimisation strategy has allowed me to intimately understand the supply on-boarding process and the campaign management aspect of the BrightRoll DSP, which will make the transition quite smooth.”
Arnaud Calonne said the hire was an important addition to the team on the ground in New Zealand.

“Its fantastic that Odis has a strong understanding of the brand and a background in products that are crucial to the local market, including BrightRoll DSP,” he said.
“She will hit the ground running and bring a depth of expertise to the team that will be of great value to our agency and advertiser partners. We’re thrilled she’s made the move to join us, as we continue to grow and strengthen our programmatic offering in New Zealand.”
