He is based out of Hamburg, Germany, and reports to Pete Wallace, GumGum’s General Manager of EMEA.

We’re helping brands reach consumers in new ways using advanced contextual and attention insights, allowing advertisers to meet consumers at the right moments with impactful creative. It’s an exciting time for GumGum and the industry, and Frank’s leadership will be invaluable as we expand our footprint in the region.”

Sueltmann said of his appointment: “It’s an exciting time to join GumGum concurrently with the depreciation of third-party cookies. The Mindset Platform and GumGum’s vision for the future of digital advertising is ushering the industry into a new era that’s based on mindset, not personal data. I couldn’t be more excited to join the team and work with some brilliant minds in pushing forward GumGum’s vision in northern Europe.”
