Verve Group SE ("Verve" or the "Company", ISIN: SE0018538068; ticker: VER /
M8G) is pleased to announce the appointment of Alex Stil as its new Chief
Commercial Officer who will lead the expansion of the demand side business.
Alex brings extensive experience in digital media, brand management and
agency ecosystems, positioning him as a pivotal addition to Verve's
leadership team.

Alex's career spans as a serial digital entrepreneur and a results-driven
business leader, with notable achievements in digital media and ad
technology. At GroupM, as President of GroupM Services EMEA, he managed
2,500+ people and led digital activation across 40 markets for brands such
as Unilever, Nike, Google, Ford and Vodafone, achieving amongst others
significant 40%+ growth in billings in a challenging Covid19 period.

His leadership in transforming large-scale organizations and fostering
enterprise-scale services will be instrumental in advancing Verve's
demand-side business, particularly following the recent acquisition of Jun
Group, which significantly expanded Verve's demand-side capabilities.

Alex's responsibilities include streamlining Verve's product portfolio by
managing the company's DSP, unique supply and data, curated deals, cookie
less solutions, and creative services. In line with our mission 'let's make
media better' Alex will focus on delivering clear and consistent solutions
tailored specifically for agencies and brands, thereby enabling better
advertising outcomes.

Next to product enhancement, Alex will also prioritize enhancing client
experiences to foster long-term loyalty and maximize client satisfaction.
This involves refining onboarding processes, improving customer support, and
implementing proactive engagement strategies.

Furthermore, Alex will spearhead initiatives to expand Verve's market
presence, including identifying new markets, nurturing high-value prospects,
and boosting brand visibility through targeted campaigns and active industry
engagement.

The Verve management team now consists of Remco Westermann (Chief Executive
Officer), Paul Echt (Chief Financial Officer), Jens Knauber (Chief Operating
Officer), Sameer Sondhi (Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Executive Officer
Ad-Tech) and Alex Stil (Chief Commercial Officer).

Alex Stil, CCO, Verve

"Joining Verve represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to a company
dedicated to enable better outcomes for its clients through responsible
advertising solutions in emerging channels. With a deep background in media
agencies and extensive international experience, including collaborations
with leading brands, I am eager to leverage my expertise to elevate Verve's
ability to meet and exceed client expectations. I look forward to joining
this strong and dedicated team to drive meaningful change in the media
landscape by delivering tailored solutions that truly resonate with our
clients' needs"

Remco Westermann, CEO, Verve

"In the past few years, we have built a leading digital advertising platform
that combines reach, supply quality and AI driven highly efficient targeting
technology. While we have an especially strong position in emerging channels
on the supply and publisher side, we also announced our plans to leverage
this foundation and grow our direct business with brands and agencies. We
are aiming to drive better outcomes for advertisers and publishers by
reducing the gap between advertisers and publishers and increasing
efficiency for both. Since the beginning of the year, we have further
strengthened our sales team, launched our unified Verve brand with refined
positioning, and most recently acquired Jun Group, increasing our share of
demand-side business to 30%. Alex has advised us as an external expert
throughout this process, and I'm excited that he'll now be leading the way
as CCO of Verve Group. With his experience and proven expertise in this
area, I am confident that we will continue to excel and drive further growth
for Verve Group.
