Criteo Names Michael Komasinski as CEO Following Months-Long Search

The announcement comes after Amazon launched a service to compete with Criteo

Criteo has a new chief executive officer in Michael Komasinski. He’ll take over from Megan Clarken on Feb. 15.

The retail media-focused adtech platform has been searching for a new top executive since August when Clarken announced her plans to retire within the following 12 months. She’ll continue to serve in an advisory role during the transition, Criteo said in a statement.

Komasinski will join Criteo from Dentsu, where he’s spent the last five years in various executive roles, the most recent of which is CEO for the Americas. Before that, he held various high-level positions at Merkle, a media company that was acquired by Dentsu in 2020.
