NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sizmek, the world's largest independent buy-side advertising platform delivering impressions that inspire, today announced the appointment of Patrick Bevilacqua as Head of Global Customer Success. Bevilaqua will be responsible for global oversight of the company's Customer Success group, with a focus on strengthening the work being done across Sizmek's ad serving, DSP and DMP units. His appointment reflects the company's continued growth and its commitment to invest in leaders with proven capabilities.

"His arrival is consistent with our talent acquisition strategy designed to attract the industry's best and brightest. His background working inside several of the most respected advertising holding companies strengthens our offering with a uniquely talented executive who can ensure customers receive best-in-class service at every step in the process."

Bevilaqua joins Sizmek from MDC Media Partners agency Assembly, where he served as the Senior Vice President of Programmatic and Data Strategy.
