Criteo, the global leader in performance display advertising, today announced that Tom Burg has joined the company as its new U.S. Head of Marketing and Communications. A veteran marketer within the online advertising community, Tom brings over 10 years’ experience in marketing for several of the industry's leading advertising technology platforms, including DoubleClick, Quigo, and Akamai’s acerno network.

“Criteo is poised to generate significant growth in the US Market in 2012,” said Greg Coleman, President of Criteo. “As such, I am pleased to welcome Tom to Criteo, as he’ll provide us with a wealth of experience in defining online advertising technology benefits to the end customer. He’ll help us further penetrate business-to-business advertiser and publisher audiences with a cohesive marketing message.”

Tom joins Criteo from Solve Media, where he was CMO, overseeing all marketing and communications.
