“Interactions within the industry in the past year have proved to me that marketers don’t need a mobile strategy as much as their marketing strategy needs mobile,” said Rohit Dadwal, Managing Director for MMA in Asia Pacific. “As such, a holistic view to mobile is now important, and the stellar composition of this entire board is a reflection of the indisputable power mobile has to transform and build competitive advantage for the world’s largest and most forward-thinking advertisers. I look forward to working with each board member to aggressively drive MMA’s mission to support marketers as they expand and effectively execute against their mobile marketing and business strategies.”
