“We welcome Derek to our board of directors,” said Social Reality’s Chief Executive Officer Christopher Miglino. “While at Victory Park Capital Advisors, he was primarily responsible for managing our relationship, and so we are excited to add another independent board member who knows our company well and can also add significant value given his broad knowledge of middle-market investing. We look forward to working even more closely with him to drive our business forward.”
“Today’s ecosystem of advertising and marketing participants, including brands, agencies and publishers, has an ever-increasing reliance on insightful analytics and technological innovation to link digital and social media and maximize consumer engagement throughout the value-chain.
