Global media auditor BPA Worldwide has appointed Rana Hariz as Director of the organization’s Middle East operation, replacing George Shashati, who will be moving on to ‘other endeavors’ in the New Year.

Founded in 1931, the US-based not-for-profit organisation offers media audits and verified audience data to consumer and B2B media owners and media buyers in more than 20 countries. This includes web site audits logging traffic, user demographics, and advertising activity; and audits of attendance and demographics for exhibitions and other events.

Hariz (pictured) previously worked for BPA from January 2011 to March 2015 – initially as a Media Auditor, and later as Coordinator, Business Development – Middle East. After BPA, Hariz served as Sales and Business Manager with AFP Services. In her new role, she is responsible for serving the needs of BPA’s media members and applicants throughout the region, including interpretation and explanation of BPA bylaws and rules, and the coordination of audit operations and staff. She will also manage BPA’s local sales and marketing opportunities.

Glenn Hansen, BPA’s president and CEO, comments: ‘We are thrilled to welcome Rana back to BPA. Her knowledge of the regional market and support she can provide to our members and applicants make her a great asset to our organization as we celebrate our 10th anniversary of opening in Dubai.’
