To support its rapid growth in the region, Taboola has announced the appointment of two new senior leadership positions at the company, Robert Perry (left) and Adam Payne (right), who assume new positions to build on the company’s success in the region.
Perry, previously director of publisher partnerships – Asia Pacific, has been appointed as regional director, Asia Pacific based in Sydney. His new role will see him grow the business in the fast-growing region, focusing on developing Taboola in the Australian, New Zealand, and Korean markets, and supporting both advertiser and publisher customers.

Adam Payne, previously senior publisher sales manager for Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia at Taboola, has been promoted to country manager, Australia and New Zealand.
Payne’s appointment will see him manage the growth and retention of agency advertising sales, publisher sales, and existing partnerships. This role will include building out the team further to reflect the country’s continued market growth.
Payne brings almost 15 years’ experience to the role and has worked at Perform Group as ANZ vice president media sales and both Nine Entertainment and 10 Network in senior sales and marketing roles.
Adam Singolda, CEO and founder of Taboola said: “Taboola continues to grow, working with leading publishers and advertisers in the industry.
“Our success in the region is powered by our people, who establish great long-term relationships with partners and help to grow our support structure. The new roles for Robert and Adam and their leadership experience ensure we’re future proofing ourselves for growth.”
The appointments come as the recommendations platform continues to expand its operations in APAC markets, including a new, expanded office in Sydney.
