Rocket Fuel senior vice president and general manager of EMEA and Emerging Markets Dominic Trigg is set to step down as of 31 March.

 

Trigg, who is leaving to spend more time with his family, joined in 2011 and will remain with Rocket Fuel as an advisor and shareholder. Co-founder and European vice president Richard Frankel will fill the role until a permanent replacement is found.

“Dominic has established an extremely strong EMEA and emerging markets business which continues to grow,” said Frankel. “We have a great leadership team in place across the region and I look forward to working with them even more closely as we continue to grow the business.

“We have an exciting product roadmap and a clear vision of what we want to achieve this year, I’m looking forward to working with the team to deliver a strong 2016.”

Rocket Fuel EMEA has grown under Trigg’s leadership from a single London office to eight venues across EMEA with a team of over 200 and over 1,200 clients including Toshiba and Singapore Airlines.

“I would like to thank Dominic on behalf of Rocket Fuel for his significant contribution to our business,” said chief executive officer Randy Wootton. “He leaves Rocket Fuel in a strong position for growth in 2016 as we continue to lead the industry with our mission to drive marketing ROI for customers by scoring every moment in the marketing journey.”

This news comes following the appointment of Rocket Fuel digital marketing executive Eric Duerr as chief marketing officer.
