Newsbridge co-founder and CEO Philippe Petitpont said: “Maheu has U.S. market and operational expertise, combined with a bold approach to scaling, that will be invaluable as we accelerate our growth ambitions.”
Maheu most recently served as the global vice president of advertising sales at Twitter; in 2021, Twitter generated $4.5 billion in advertising revenue. Prior to Twitter, Maheu was the CEO of Bluefin Labs, which Twitter acquired in 2013.
He is a senior advisor to the MIT Centre for Constructive Communication, a board member of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), and a former adjunct professor at Columbia Business School.
