Wakefield-based audioadpro has appointed Liam Bateman as chief technology officer (CTO) and advisory board member, as the digital audio advertising trade desk embarks on its next phase of development.
Bateman has spent the last 15 years at the forefront of technology leadership as a founder, CTO, and advisor – having co-founded Silverchip in 2010, a multi-award-winning mobile app and software development company whose success led to its acquisition by CTI Group in 2022.
He continues to share his expertise as an advisor, non-executive, and investor, helping businesses scale, develop their people, and make the right decisions with both technology and teams.
As audioadpro scales, Bateman’s leadership will help drive the company’s technology roadmap, strengthen its capabilities, and support its growth ambitions.
Jo Bucci, audioadpro’s board chair, said: “Liam’s appointment marks an exciting step forward for audioadpro. His depth of experience in technology leadership and innovation perfectly complements our ambitions to scale and evolve.
“As we continue to push boundaries in digital audio advertising, Liam’s strategic insight and technical expertise will be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth.”
Liam Bateman, newly appointed chief technology officer, added: “I was drawn to audioadpro, not just because of the incredible business they have, but because as soon as I spoke with the founders (Roger Cutsforth and Michael Dobson), their passion and energy were infectious, that’s what made me want to be part of this journey.
“There’s something special about working with founders who have genuine passion and momentum behind them. I’m excited to join as an Advisory Board Member and Fractional CTO and support them through this next stage of growth.”
