Boston, MA / Berlin, Germany - 2nd October 2024
Monda, the all-in-one data monetization platform, today announced the appointment of Kyle Antoian as its new chairman of the board and independent board member. His expertise in technology and data commercialization brings a wealth of experience and strategic vision to the company.
Kyle’s career includes nearly 11 years at Epsilon, where he held leadership positions such as Managing Director of Data and Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. His earlier experience includes roles at Datran Media and Takkle Inc., where he began his career in digital marketing, laying the foundation for his expertise in the data and technology sectors. After leaving Epsilon, Kyle founded Zeke Strategy, a consulting firm focused on data commercialization, product strategy, and go-to-market services for technology and advertising companies. He also serves as a Board Member at Microblink, further contributing to his influence in the tech industry.
From October 1st, Kyle will chair the Monda board and serve as an independent member. Monda was launched in September 2024 by serial entrepreneurs and data industry experts Thani Shamsi and Richard Hoffmann as a spin-off from Berlin-based Datarade, the largest comparison platform for data providers. Monda’s data monetization platform helps companies easily start, run, and scale their data business. The company is opening its first US office in Boston in Fall 2024 to better serve North American customers, which account for 50% of its customer base.
“I knew I had to be involved in Thani and Richard’s ventures from the first time after I left Epsilon - the vision they had for both Monda and Datarade aligned perfectly with my skill sets, and that’s what motivated me to join and chair the Monda board. Since then, we've grown our relationship such that I am happy to call them both my friends. Being able to bring my background and experience to the table will hopefully help unlock continued growth for Monda, especially as we work to further ingrain ourselves in the US market. I'm hoping that my experiences as an American, but also as a long-time executive in the data space, will bring new perspectives to an otherwise seasoned management team.”
Kyle Antoian, Chairman of Monda's Board
"We are thrilled to welcome Kyle to our board. His profound understanding of the data industry, along with his strategic insight and leadership skills, will be invaluable as we continue to grow and expand our market presence in the US. We’re looking forward to working with Kyle to steer Monda in the direction it needs to grow our fantastic team, and to build data monetization software that fuels the AI revolution."
Thani Shamsi, Founder and CEO, Monda
