Mr. Joe Marchese, Fox Networks Group’s president of advanced advertising products, leads the company’s advertising products and services. Marchese was appointed to his current position after the company he founded, true[X], was acquired by Fox Networks Group’s parent company 21st Century Fox in 2015. Prior to launching true[X], Marchese spent several years as a television executive, serving as senior vice president of digital and advertising at Fuse TV, where he led consumer marketing, digital and multiplatform development at the cable channel. Mr. Christopher Perkins is a managing director at Citi and leads its global over the counter derivatives clearing business. An Iraq War veteran, Perkins served in the U.S. Marine Corps for nine years. He is a founder of the Citi Military Veterans Network, which now includes approximately 3,000 employees across 16 locations in the U.S. and United Kingdom and cofounder of Veterans on Wall Street, a financial services industry veterans advocacy group. Team Rubicon’s board of director members serve four-year terms, and the organization would like to thank outgoing board members Mr. Charles Macintosh, who is currently the managing director at First Key Holdings, and Mr. Adam Yarnold, an Army veteran who serves as the managing director at Barclays Capital Inc.
