Uber Advertising announces new APAC head of sales
Uber has announced the appointment of Michael Levine as head of APAC sales for Uber Advertising.
Based in Australia, Levine will lead Uber Advertising’s sales and operations across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and India.
Appointed as head of advertising for ANZ in 2022, Levine played a pivotal role in launching Uber Advertising’s first international market.
Under his leadership, and through his interim support leading other teams across APAC, the business has exceeded growth expectations and achieved industry recognition, including the ANZ team being recognised as Mumbrella’s 2024 Sales Team of the Year.
Meaningful impression
Michael’s appointment comes as Uber’s Advertising division accelerates its expansion across APAC.
“Uber Advertising connects brands with consumers in real-world moments that drive action and leave a meaningful impression,” says Megan Ramm, global head of sales for Uber Advertising.
“Michael has been instrumental in building our Uber Advertising business in ANZ from the ground up. I am thrilled to see his leadership take Uber Advertising to our next phase of growth and expansion across the APAC region.”
In his new role, Levine will oversee a rapidly growing team of over 50 sellers across the region. His responsibilities involve expanding advertiser relationships, improving performance insights and working with local teams to localise products for each market.
On his new appointment, Levine says: “The APAC region spans an extraordinary range of markets, cultures and capabilities. With that comes a wealth of untapped potential and exciting customer challenges to solve. Uber Advertising has proven to be an indispensable partner to APAC brands, with innovation and agility at the heart of our team. I’m looking forward to building on that momentum and partnering with brands to reach consumers where and when it matters most.”
