Podean is delighted to announce the appointment of Kim Reisen as Senior Director, Marketplace Media. With nearly 10 years of experience in ecommerce media and programmatic advertising, Kim has consistently demonstrated strong leadership in scaling high-performing teams and delivering measurable results for global brands.
Kim played a foundational role at Perpetua, where she built and expanded their DSP team, shaping the product offering, establishing key marketplace partnerships, and positioning the company as an Amazon DSP leader. She later served as head of the Amazon DSP team at Flywheel, overseeing 70 professionals across four countries and supporting more than 200 clients with advanced strategies that integrated display, video, AMC audience activation, and reporting.
Travis Johnson, Global CEO of Podean, said the agency was immediately impressed by Kim’s blend of expertise and leadership. “Kim combines deep marketplace knowledge with the ability to inspire high-performing teams. Her track record of driving results for global brands aligns perfectly with our vision at Podean,” he noted.
Mark Power, Founder of Podean, emphasized the importance of Kim’s arrival at this stage of the agency’s growth. “Kim joins at a pivotal moment. As brands face increasingly complex commerce platforms, her ability to integrate data, media, and innovation will ensure our clients unlock new growth opportunities and stay well ahead of the competition,” he said.
For Kim, the move represents an exciting milestone. “I’m thrilled to be stepping into a new role at Podean—now the largest independent marketplace agency globally—following their acquisition of Commerce Canal,” she said. “As commerce platforms like Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop continue to reshape consumer behavior, brands need integrated strategies that go beyond media investment. That’s where Podean stands out—leading with data-driven, performance-focused marketplace solutions that deliver real results. Joining Podean means becoming part of a global powerhouse.”
Kim’s arrival marks an exciting new chapter for Podean. Her passion for innovation and proven ability to scale teams will bring fresh energy to our Marketplace Media offering. We’re thrilled to welcome her to the global Podean family and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make as we continue helping brands grow and succeed across the world’s leading commerce platforms.
