TORONTO, Sept. 16,
2024 /CNW/ -- Sabio Holdings Inc. (TSXV:
SBIO)(OTCQB: SABOF) (the "Company" or "Sabio"),
a California-based ad-tech company that specializes in
delivering highly targeted ads, insights, and services in
ad-supported streaming to top Fortune 100 brands, is pleased to
announce Matt Hull has joined its
Board of Directors ("Board").
Hull has spent his career turning data and analytics into
cutting-edge solutions that create significant and perpetual
economic value. Leveraging more than three decades of experience in
Artificial Intelligence ("AI")/analytics, he blends his
strategic business background and deep technical expertise to
improve corporate efficiency and uncover growth opportunities.
"We are excited about welcoming such an accomplished AI and data
analytics strategist to our Board," said Aziz Rahimtoola, Sabio's CEO and co-founder. "We
remain a committed partner in helping brands and agencies reach,
engage, and validate diverse consumers, including through the use
of data intelligence and AI, and we look forward to Matt's
leadership and insights to help us navigate and accelerate our
growth and engagement in this important space."
The Company welcomes Hull at an unprecedented time for AI and
data analytics, with the AI industry market size in the United States alone expected to reach
$407 billion by 2027, a staggering
growth from its estimated $86.9
billion revenue in 2022. With over 64% of businesses
expecting AI to increase their productivity and an expected annual
growth rate of over 37% between 2024 and 2030, understanding and
capitalizing on the benefits of AI may be transformational for many
businesses over the coming decade1.
"With the AI and analytics industry poised for great
acceleration in the coming decade, the potential for companies
offering strategic data intelligence and analytics is significant,"
said Hull. "I am excited about the opportunity to blend my AI and
analytics experience and expertise with the progressive products
and capabilities Sabio offers to further accelerate the Company's
growth."
Hull is currently the Chief Data Analytics Officer at
Chamberlain Group, a Blackstone portfolio company, where he
was recently recruited to revolutionize data and analytics to
accelerate a new and fast-growing subscription software
business.
Prior to this, Hull served as Senior Vice President of AI and
Advanced Analytics at Comcast, where he led a 150+ person team in
big data, AI, and consumer research, building more than 400
predictive models, a home-grown optimization platform, and an
$8 billion increase in customer
lifetime value. Prior to Comcast, Hull held senior roles in
strategy, product and operations at AT&T, where amongst various
other contributions, he was responsible for launching AT&T
AdWorks' 3-screen AdTech business. Hull has also worked in
strategic projects consulting for both Copernicus and The Boston
Consulting Group in a diversity of industries and countries. He
graduated with an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of
Science (honors) from Carnegie Mellon
University.
Hull joins a strong group of existing Board members:
Paula Madison, a 22-year veteran of
NBCUniversal ("NBCU") where she held a number of leadership
roles, including Executive Vice President for Diversity and Vice
President of the General Electric Company, then-parent company of
NBCU; Carl Farrell, who touts more
than 30 years of global management expertise guiding large and
small organizations through growth and transformation; Muizz Kheraj, who has more than two decades of

GroupM Multicultural, where he provides clients with dynamic
guidance and strategic programs to support endemic and

The Company also announces the departure of Jennifer Cabalquinto from the Board. As a Board
member since January 2022, joining
shortly after the Company went public in November 2021, Cabalquinto has provided valuable
oversight and guidance to Sabio's finance and leadership teams. The
Company thanks her for her commitment and energy and wishes her
well as she takes on new opportunities.
