Discovery platform Outbrain has promoted three members of its regional leadership team following appointments it made in February.

Yoav Tourel becomes Asia Pacific head of sales with Helena Gavros moving to head of brands and agencies for southeast Asia.

In India - where he says native discovery has taken flight - Anand Makhija has been promoted to director of business development.

APAC managing director Andrew Burke says the company operates in a space where talent is extremely dynamic, and "losing the war for talent" is a real risk: "These moves put the right people in the right roles, and better positions us to continue on our growth trajectory in Asia Pacific," he says.

Over recent months, Outbrain has expanded its suite of products, with a renewed focus on enhancing the user experience. It launched the premium Sphere publisher-to-publisher recommendation network, introduced SmartFeed and acquired AdNgin.
