CitrusAd announces CTO appointment

Adam Skinner is taking on the role of Chief Technology Officer at e-commerce advertising platform venture CitrusAd.

He joins from Fitness and Lifestyle Group where, over the course of two years, he served first as Chief Information Officer and then Chief Data & Technology Officer.

“It has been a great 6.5 years, and I will cherish the professional and personal relationships, achievements, friendships that have been cultivated. I will be looking on (from not far away) with the next round of success that FLG will have,” Skinner said in a LinkedIn post.

“In the wise words of Winnie the Pooh - "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”. As they say, one door closes and another opens. I am excited to be starting a new chapter in my career as CTO at CitrusAd.”

Christian Lopez

Earlier this month, CitrusAd appointed Christian Lopez as Solutions Architect.

The Australian startup’s first tech hire in the US, he joined from HookLogic/Criteo and will lead product innovation and retailer onboarding from CitrusAd’s new Los Angeles office (the company’s sixth international office opening).

“In my 8.5 years at HookLogic/Criteo, I achieved many life milestones, both personally and professionally: moved to new cities, got married, had two children, worked at a startup that successfully exited, survived a global pandemic (in progress), the list goes on,” Lopez commented.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity HookLogic and Criteo gave me and will cherish all of the memories I’ve made; many of my best friends are people I met at work, you're what made work fun. In my new role, I will be leading US-based integrations plus building CitrusAd’s US-based tech team right here in sunny Los Angeles to support their growing foothold in the US market,” he concluded.
