Colin led Havas in North America for the last 4+ years. Prior to Havas, Colin served as CEO of Mindshare North America, a division of WPP’s GroupM.

Colin Kinsella said: “The global regulatory environment for digital advertising is changing rapidly, programmatic continues to grow exponentially and advertisers with their agencies are increasingly focused on understanding where their money is going, how it is getting there and how to maximise their business outcomes. I’ve spent my career dedicated to that endeavour. As an investor, I’ve been blown away by what Fenestra has achieved so far and am excited to help them more actively step-up to the next level.”
