   Verve Appoints Alex Stil as Chief Commercial Officer to Lead the
   Strategic Expansion of its Demand-Side Business


   
   Verve Group SE ("Verve" or the "Company", ISIN: SE0018538068;
   ticker: VER / M8G) is pleased to announce the appointment of Alex
   Stil as its new Chief Commercial Officer who will lead the
   expansion of the demand side business. Alex brings extensive
   experience in digital media, brand management and agency
   ecosystems, positioning him as a pivotal addition to Verve's
   leadership team.


   Alex's career spans as a serial digital entrepreneur and a
   results-driven business leader, with notable achievements in
   digital media and ad technology. At GroupM, as President of
   GroupM Services EMEA, he managed 2,500+ people and led digital
   activation across 40 markets for brands such as Unilever, Nike,
   Google, Ford and Vodafone, achieving amongst others significant
   40%+ growth in billings in a challenging Covid19 period.


   His leadership in transforming large-scale organizations and
   fostering enterprise-scale services will be instrumental in
   advancing Verve's demand-side business, particularly following
   the recent acquisition of Jun Group, which significantly expanded
   Verve's demand-side capabilities.


   Alex's responsibilities include streamlining Verve's product
   portfolio by managing the company's DSP, unique supply and data,
   curated deals, cookie less solutions, and creative services. In
   line with our mission 'let's make media better' Alex will focus
   on delivering clear and consistent solutions tailored
   specifically for agencies and brands, thereby enabling better
   advertising outcomes.


   Next to product enhancement, Alex will also prioritize enhancing
   client experiences to foster long-term loyalty and maximize
   client satisfaction. This involves refining onboarding processes,
   improving customer support, and implementing proactive engagement
   strategies.


   Furthermore, Alex will spearhead initiatives to expand Verve's
   market presence, including identifying new markets, nurturing
   high-value prospects, and boosting brand visibility through
   targeted campaigns and active industry engagement.


   The Verve management team now consists of Remco Westermann (Chief
   Executive Officer), Paul Echt (Chief Financial Officer), Jens
   Knauber (Chief Operating Officer), Sameer Sondhi (Chief Revenue
   Officer and Chief Executive Officer Ad-Tech) and Alex Stil (Chief
   Commercial Officer).


Alex Stil, CCO, Verve

   "Joining Verve represents an exciting opportunity to contribute
   to a company dedicated to enable better outcomes for its clients
   through responsible advertising solutions in emerging channels.
   With a deep background in media agencies and extensive
   international experience, including collaborations with leading
   brands, I am eager to leverage my expertise to elevate Verve's
   ability to meet and exceed client expectations. I look forward to
   joining this strong and dedicated team to drive meaningful change
   in the media landscape by delivering tailored solutions that
   truly resonate with our clients' needs"


Remco Westermann, CEO, Verve

   "In the past few years, we have built a leading digital
   advertising platform that combines reach, supply quality and AI
   driven highly efficient targeting technology. While we have an
   especially strong position in emerging channels on the supply and
   publisher side, we also announced our plans to leverage this
   foundation and grow our direct business with brands and agencies.
   We are aiming to drive better outcomes for advertisers and
   publishers by reducing the gap between advertisers and publishers
   and increasing efficiency for both. Since the beginning of the
   year, we have further strengthened our sales team, launched our
   unified Verve brand with refined positioning, and most recently
   acquired Jun Group, increasing our share of demand-side business
   to 30%. Alex has advised us as an external expert throughout this
   process, and I'm excited that he'll now be leading the way as CCO
   of Verve Group. With his experience and proven expertise in this
   area, I am confident that we will continue to excel and drive
   further growth for Verve Group.
