Outbrain Names Co-CEO
In the US, content discovery and personalization platform Outbrain has appointed David Kostman as Co-Chief Executive Officer, sharing management responsibility with co-founder and CEO Yaron Galai.
 New York-based Outbrain delivers personalized online, mobile and video content to audiences, while using data to help publishers understand them. Earlier this year, the firm launched a tool called Lookalike Audiences to help find similar audiences, based on demonstrated common interests and behavior, then target these individuals at scale across the firm's publisher network.
Kostman (pictured), who has served on the Outbrain Board since 2014, is the co-founder of Mediterranean eatery Nanoosh. He also serves as Chairman of cloud and on-premises enterprise software solutions provider NICE, and he is a director of ironSource and TIVIT. Previously, Kostman served as CEO of Delta Galil USA and as COO of Verticalnet; he was MD in the investment banking division of Lehman Brothers, heading the Global Internet Group; and he served as an investment banker at NM Rothschild & Sons.
Commenting on the appointment, Board Director Shlomo Dovrat said: 'Outbrain has enjoyed phenomenal growth and market leadership, and as Yaron has laid out his inspiring and exciting vision for continued growth he also presented the idea of having David join to help him lead the company. We are thrilled to have David on board and are excited about the enormous potential and power of this extraordinary leadership team'.
