Channel Factory Boosts Leadership Team, Promoting Jed Hartman to US President and Appointing Jeremy Haft as New Chief Revenue Officer to Support Rapid Growth

Channel Factory, the global brand suitability and ad performance platform for YouTube is adding to its leadership ranks as part of its US growth and expansion push, promoting Jed Hartman as its US President and appointing Jeremy Haft as Chief Revenue Officer. The company also announced that Eren Pamir and Jenny Chau are being promoted to C-Suite positions.
