"First and foremost, I want to thank Peter for his leadership and the substantial impact he has made on LashBack," said Chmelir. "During Peter's tenure LashBack experienced record growth, strengthened its technology and business intelligence platform, and expanded its footprint as a trusted partner and service provider to major brands, agencies, networks and publishers." Chmelir continued, "Looking ahead, I am excited to work with our leadership team to continue building on LashBack's strong foundation of proprietary technology and unparalleled compliance expertise."

"Francis is the ideal person to lead LashBack," said Wilson. "He is a talented and experienced leader who is widely-respected by our team and our clients, and he has a clear vision for LashBack's future growth and strategic direction. The business has never been stronger, making now the perfect time for this transition. I look forward to seeing what Francis and the LashBack team accomplish in the coming years."
