He’s a tremendous addition to strategize and oversee the execution of our video advertising efforts and devise solutions for Dailymotion’s demand partners.”

Based out of Dailymotion’s New York office, Irlando will report directly to Bastha. Irlando will develop and mentor the multi-regional demand team to advance the company’s video advertising offerings and create future leaders in the sector.
