The former Oracle and Adobe Campaign Sales Director brings 20 years of sales experience and will lead the company’s expansion into the French market

Optimove, the leading CRM Marketing Platform, announced today the appointment of Jeremy Remus as the company’s Head of France, overseeing sales and growth of the company’s French operation. The selection indicates Optimove’s rapid growth and determination to expand into new markets.

Jeremy started his sales career in 2003 at Neolane, a conversational marketing company. Neolane recorded annual revenue of just under $60 million and, in 2013, was acquired by Adobe for $600 million, being rebranded as Adobe Campaign and appointing Jeremy as Sales Director. In his most recent role, Jeremy was the VP of Sales, France at Mediarithmics, a next-gen Data Management Platform.

In his new role, Jeremy will oversee Optimove’s sales operation in France and spearhead the company’s expansion into the French market, establishing a dedicated team and a new location for the business, in addition to the company’s existing USA, United Kingdom and Israel offices.

With a Customer Data Platform (CDP) at its core, Optimove helps data-rich brands across industries manage large-scale CRM marketing frameworks. By personalizing thousands of campaigns to hundreds of segments, Optimove allows brands to reach their customers with the right message on the right channel. Unlike other technologies that rely on common, rule-based orchestration, Optimove’s AI-driven solutions autonomously determine the next best action for each customer, eliminating marketers’ need to map every customer journey manually.

In the past 12 months, Optimove has continued its strong momentum, and its CRM Marketing platform has been recognized by research firms and customers alike:

Named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management.
Recognized as a Challenger in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs.
Received a 4.5/5.0 “Overall Score” and 95% “Willingness to Recommend” by clients on Gartner Peer Insights.
Positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Retail and CPG Customer Data Platform 2022 Vendor Assessment.

“We’re excited to welcome Jeremy to Optimove, to lead the company’s French operation,” said Moshe Demri, VP Revenue EMEA at Optimove.” Jeremy is a crucial addition to the team as we make our first steps toward expanding into the burgeoning French market. We are confident Jeremy’s experience and knowledge will enable us to make significant gains there. The French market needs a CDP solution that can provide an edge in addition to tangible and quantified evidence of success. Optimove, which is time and again recognized as a leader in the category, is the perfect solution for brands looking to transform their CRM Marketing strategies.”

“I’m excited to join Optimove and play a major role in the company’s expansion into the French market,” said Jeremy Remus. “I’m humbled and motivated by the trust vested in me by Optimove. The French market is very much a value and data-driven one, and it needs a tech solution that can provide substantial results for brands’ CRM Marketing activities. Knowing the French market inside and out, I’m confident that Optimove, which combines CDP with an AI-led CRM Marketing hub, will perfectly fit brands across all verticals. I look forward to the challenge of developing meaningful partnerships and helping the French market improve CRM Marketing practices and customer experiences.”

Optimove’s expansion into France continues its business acceleration strategy stemming from its latest funding round.

As a part of the collaboration, Wunderino is enhancing its entertainment portfolio with a forthcoming increasing range of ZEAL slots. The initial titles are now active and accessible to players on Wunderino.de.

Increased diversity for gamers – enhanced exposure for premium titles.

Vegangster has introduced Hubster AI, a built-in conversational assistant designed to simplify platform setup and daily operations for operators. The tool allows clients to ask practical questions about platform features and receive instant, structured, step-by-step guidance.

Unlike traditional support models that rely on account manager availability and ticket queues, Hubster AI operates 24/7 and supports all major languages. Operators can configure features, adjust settings, and navigate workflows independently—without waiting for working hours.

Hubster AI provides detailed operational guidance across the entire platform, including:

Player Account Management
Bonus and promotion setup
Game and lobby management
CRM workflows
CMS and content updates
Reporting and analytics

Each response delivers clear instructions and, where relevant, direct access to pre-recorded video walkthroughs demonstrating the exact process.

Several brands have already completed onboarding and platform configuration without submitting setup tickets, relying entirely on Hubster AI for operational guidance.

“My idea is to make complex things simple,” said Tatjana Danevica, Product Operations Specialist at Vegangster. “Operators should not deeply need technical expertise or constant support interaction to launch and manage a brand. Hubster AI turns platform knowledge into an always-available guide, removing friction and allowing teams to move.”

Hubster AI forms part of Vegangster’s broader strategy to eliminate the skill barrier in iGaming by turning complex platform knowledge into instant, practical guidance operators can use in real time.

About Vegangster

Vegangster provides a full-stack iGaming platform engineered for speed, scalability, and operator control. Its turnkey and white-label solutions integrate casino content, payments, CRM, compliance, and engagement tools into a single mobile-first system.
