Bruce joins S4M with over 15 years of experience across the digital advertising space, specializing in location data, mobile, video, and advanced TV. In his new role, Bruce will be responsible for revenue growth and sales leadership in the East region, reporting directly to Chief Revenue Officer, North America, Ed Silhan.

Before joining S4M, Bruce spent six years with location data and technology provider PlaceIQ where he built out their mid-market business nationally. As Director of Mid-Market Sales, he was instrumental in the recruitment and training of its US sales team, while developing the go-to-market sales strategy for key products, including location-based data and audiences, foot-traffic attribution, and audience analytics products. There he was charged with overseeing and furthering the revenue growth for key verticals, including retail, dining, automotive, CPG, travel, and more.

Prior to that, Bruce held sales roles at SoundHound, a leading audio recognition platform, responsible for revenue growth, account strategy, training, and recruitment of its East region sales team.
