Subsequently, Brain moved back to WPP as the lead in building one of the UK's leading and most successful agency technology businesses.

In his last role as European Managing Director at Adap.tv, Brian was charged with leading the growth of the agency, ad network and publisher partnerships, as well as the management of operations across all European markets. In addition, Brian led the expansion of the European business from one person to 20, entered seven new markets and built revenue from five figures to eight figures. He also managed the transition after the company's acquisition by AOL in 2013.

Now, Brian works as a private investor, consultant and Board member across a number of companies from entrepreneurial start-ups to multinationals.
