Singapore - StackAdapt, the AI-powered marketing company, has appointed Dorina Leititis and Lavin Vaswani as Sales Directors in Singapore, expanding its Southeast Asia operations amid growing regional demand for AI-driven advertising tools. In her new role, Leititis will focus on growing relationships with agency holding groups and key direct clients across Southeast Asia. She joins StackAdapt after 12 years at Google, where she worked across EMEA, APAC and other markets, partnering with leading agencies and advertisers. She most recently led the strategic go-to-market and commercialisation of Google's AI-powered advertising solutions, including Demand Gen and PMax, across the region. Meanwhile, Vaswani will focus on opening new enterprise accounts and building partnerships with agencies and advertisers across the region. He brings more than 15 years of experience in digital media, including roles at Microsoft, Amazon, Adara and Quantcast, and has led regional business development, launched new markets and worked with brands across the travel, finance, technology and retail sectors. "Asia-Pacific is a high potential market, and Singapore is the hub for key decision-making in South East Asia. By increasing our presence in the region we are giving local marketers access to more AI-powered tools that are driving growth for our partners globally," said Deirdre Chew, Director of Sales for Southeast Asia at StackAdapt. The appointments coincide with the rollout of two new AI-powered StackAdapt products in the region. ChatGPT Ads is now available to advertisers, alongside Ivy Studio(TM), an AI-first advertising hub designed to help marketers uncover opportunities and act on them faster. Commenting on her appointment, Leititis said, "StackAdapt is thinking beyond AI as a campaign optimisation tool. The vision is to build it into every stage of the advertising journey, and Ivy Studio is a good example of that ambition." "I've spent most of my career bringing new technology to market, so joining a company at this point in its regional growth was an easy decision," added Leititis. "My focus will be on building long team relationships across the region rather than looking at short term revenue," said Vaswani. "That means being clear about where StackAdapt's technology genuinely solves a unique problem, whether that's diversifying beyond the walled gardens, improving omnichannel measurement or activating AI-driven audiences." With tighter regulations reshaping APAC's social-led financial sector, managing agent activity and misinformation have never been more critical.

The partnership will help its teams efficiently manage high volumes of locally relevant campaigns, improve campaign performance through AI-powered optimization, reach audiences with greater precision, accelerate the time from strategy to activation, and measure results against business KPIs. "Programmatic media continues to evolve, and our clients need technology that can support the scale and complexity of brand-to-local marketing while delivering measurable results," said James Morse, Senior Vice President of Growth and Strategic Partnerships at Ansira. "After a comprehensive six-month review of the DSP landscape, StackAdapt stood out for its campaign performance, location-based capabilities, measurement, ease of use, and client service."
