Mobile ad network AdMob has confirmed the appointment of Thomas Schulz as its new European Managing Director.

He replaces Russell Buckley, who has been promoted to Vice President of Global Alliances.

The news comes hot on the heels of AdMob's $15.7 Million in Series C funding last month.

Omar Hamoui, Founder and CEO, AdMob commented: “The UK is one of our key markets and we are now seeing ad requests across Europe rising exponentially. Thomas Schulz has an impressive track record in business development to help us consolidate our position in this region. He is a valued addition to AdMob and we are delighted to have him on the team.”
