Papyrus is pleased to unveil its new Chief Executive Officer Abeed Janmohamed.

Abeed brings two decades of experience to this critical role at the start of the Papyrus journey as we look to disrupt the programmatic media landscape and create the foundation and culture for the future of the business.

He has spent the best part of his career working in startups and high growth businesses as well launching new products to the market in Europe and has well established relationships in the venture capital and investment community over the last 2 years in co-founding Strategic Growth Accelerator Volando Global.

Abeed has significant experience in building and developing commercial teams in early stage businesses and thrives in environments where organisations are looking to disrupt the status quo.

He spent his formative years at Cricinfo.com and helped scale and grow the business and team in the UK and across the Middle East, AsiaPac, US and Europe — they were acquired in 2007 by ESPN where Abeed pulled together the commercial function and took ESPN Digital Media to market across Europe.

In 2010 he joined RadiumOne a San Francisco headquartered Advertising Technology company as the first commercial employee outside the US — where he formed an integral part of the European leadership team and helped launch the business into France, Nordics, Benelux and Southern Europe.

In 2015 he joined retail tech and data business Eagle Eye as Chief Revenue Officer where he was responsible Sales, Account Management, Partnerships/Alliances and helped grow the business by 150% year on year.

On his appointment Abeed added: “I am excited and energised by the opportunity to be part of the Papyrus journey at the start as we look to build awareness and the opportunity among advertising community in Europe and the US and work with some of the brightest minds in the space. Its going to be a very exciting period as we look to bring transparency to the industry through blockchain and the token economy.
