Atkinson brings extensive experience in building successful high-growth technology businesses—most notably adtech start up AppNexus, where he served as SVP, Global Services and then Chief People Officer for nearly a decade. While there, Atkinson was an essential component in scaling the organisation from 30 to over 1,000 employees worldwide. This success was a large contributing factor to the company’s $1.7B acquisition by AT&T in 2018. Prior to his time at AppNexus, Atkinson worked for Opsware, a data center automation software provider, where he held leadership roles in services and engineering. He later served as Solution Director, Business Service Automation, EMEA for HP after it acquired Opsware in 2007, where he led go-to-market efforts in the region.
