Taboola appoints new UK Advertising Sales Director

Published: 02 Sept 2025

Taboola (Nasdaq: TBLA), a global leader in delivering performance at scale for advertisers, has appointed Chris Blight as UK Advertising Sales Director.

The hire comes just months after Taboola launched its advertiser-focused platform Realize, which specialises in performance outcomes at scale beyond just search and social. In his new role, Blight will be responsible for strategically driving sales of Realize and growing Taboola’s advertiser client base.

Blight brings over 15 years’ experience working in commercial and business development roles, including positions at advertising technology providers AdColony and Anzu.io. Most recently, he served as Director of Agency and Brand Demand at the mobile advertising exchange BidMachine.

Blight is the latest of several new hires joining Taboola’s UK team, which has expanded rapidly since the launch of Realize. Earlier this year, the company welcomed Julia Burton Brown as its UK Country Manager to oversee the brand’s new performance-centric focus.
