Dubai-centered dubizzle, a leading provider of classified
advertising in the UAE, recently announced three new leadership staff appointments
in its continuing quest to remain the emirates’ preeminent online ad space and
service provider as it grows.
Jean-Pierre Mondalek will be
general manager of motors, Vineet Singla becomes
general manager of new business and product director and Anthony Blackford is the new head of
display advertising.
With a team of more than 160 individuals, dubizzle, which was recently
ranked as the UAE’s ninthh most visited website by SimilarWeb, has
invested in skilled personnel to increase user value and experience.
“As we continue to grow and expand our presence across
the UAE, we have aligned our business model accordingly,” Barry
Judge, general manager at dubizzle, said. “The addition of seasoned professionals to
the dubizzle team supports our strategic growth plans and we are confident that
under their leadership, we will continue to further strengthen dubizzle’s
presence and offering in the UAE.”
Prior to taking the helm at dubizzle, Singla served as chief
product officer for OLX South Asia as well as working for Yahoo. Mondalek
supported a team at Uber Technologies, also in the UAE; while Blackford brings
valuable expertise gained during his tenure at eBay.
“Two years ago, dubizzle monetized the motoring section
of the platform and has since experienced tremendous growth in both listings
and leads – making it the most liquid automotive marketplace in the UAE,” Mondalek
said. “As a Dubai native, I’m excited to join dubizzle and look forward to
delivering innovative digital solutions to the UAE automotive sector that offer
consumers and dealers the best return on investment, and of course, the best
quality motoring ads for our established and growing user base.”
