Net Conversion, a leading media agency known for its data-driven approach and commitment to client success, expanded its leadership team with three key executives: Jim Lyons has been named chief growth officer; Alex Holt as vice president, data strategy; and Haley Gribben as strategy and insights manager/ “chief storyteller.”

These three execs are adding expertise in key areas to complement its highly experienced core leadership team composed of Ryan Fitzgerald, chief executive officer; Kristina Canada, chief marketing officer; and Brett Hughes, chief analytics officer.

Jim, who assumed the role of chief growth officer, is responsible for charting strategic growth for the agency via business development and partnerships. He is a motivational leader known for building high-performing teams, implementing data inspired strategies, and driving exceptional revenue growth.

As Net Conversion enters its next growth phase, the agency is focused on delivering even more powerful insights, more meaningful connections, more accountable media, and ultimately, more profitable growth for its clients.  

Commenting on his appointment, Jim noted, "Net Conversion's commitment to client growth is truly impressive.  What's even more exciting is how they're achieving that growth – through cutting-edge, proprietary martech that's unlocking the full potential of marketers' data. I'm thrilled to be part of a team that's not only focused on results but also equipped with the tools to deliver them."

In addition to Jim, the agency tapped Alex Holt as vice president, data strategy; and Haley Gribben as strategy and insights manager / “chief storyteller.”

These strategic hires reflect the agency's dedication to innovation, client growth, and its core mission: "a relentless pursuit of more to advance your business."  They each play a crucial role in evolving the agency's brand positioning and ensuring its continued success in the dynamic media landscape.
