Dstillery Elevates Evan Hills to CCO and Ryan Perone to SVP, Head of Sales
Dstillery announces the promotions of Evan Hills to Chief Commercial Officer and Ryan Perone to SVP, Head of Sales.
Dstillery, the leader in AI ad targeting, is strategically driving growth by promoting two senior leaders to key executive positions. Effective immediately, Evan Hills will take on the role of Chief Commercial Officer, and Ryan Perone will serve as SVP, Head of Sales. These promotions strengthen Dstillery’s position to capitalize on emerging opportunities amidst a massive industry transition to deliver unparalleled value to its clients and partners.
Hills brings a wealth of expertise and experience to his new role. Formerly serving as SVP of Strategy and Partnerships, Hills has driven significant business development, partnership cultivation, and revenue expansion since joining Dstillery in 2014. With accomplishments in strategy, policy, and technical design, Hills has been instrumental in shaping the company’s growth and industry influence. He has scaled nearly every aspect of Dstillery’s data business, including building and optimizing Dstillery’s data stack and distribution partnerships, as well as enabling the company to reach new heights as a top data provider on the largest platforms. In his new role, Hills will bridge the transition from product-focused initiatives to demand-driven strategies, harnessing his strategic vision and leadership capabilities.
With Perone’s focus on driving revenue growth and spearheading adoption of the company’s patented and trademarked cookieless solution, ID-free®, he brings a proven track record of success to his expanded responsibilities. Having previously held the position of VP of Data Sales, Perone will lead the Sales team through the industry’s biggest transition yet as cookies are deprecated from Google Chrome this year. He has helped propel ID-free campaign growth by a staggering 9700% since January 2022, aiding industry preparation for cookie deprecation and tightening privacy regulations. Since joining Dstillery in 2015, Perone has consistently demonstrated his ability to advance the company forward, from building the data business revenue to fostering the growth of holding company agency development.
“Evan and Ryan have played a crucial role in Dstillery’s success, consistently delivering exceptional results as we’ve challenged them over the years,” said Michael Beebe, Dstillery CEO. “Their demonstrated leadership, strategic insights, and unwavering commitment to excellence will be even more critical as we push boundaries and solidify our position as a leader in the adtech industry.”
These strategic promotions underscore Dstillery’s commitment to empowering top talent and aligning its leadership team with its overarching priorities. With Hills leading commercial strategy and Perone at the helm of sales leadership, Dstillery is positioned to continue its trajectory of innovation, growth, and market leadership in adtech.
