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.

Kaizen Gaming has launched Betano Trivia, a live trivia product it describes as the world’s first fully GenAI-powered live trivia experience. The free-to-play game is now available across the 20 markets where Kaizen Gaming operates.

The product was developed by Kaizen Labs, the company’s innovation incubator. Kaizen Gaming said Betano Trivia uses generative AI to power the avatar presenter, create dynamic trivia content, and generate supporting audiovisual assets, positioning it as a new engagement format inside the Betano brand.

Players are invited to answer questions spanning sports, entertainment and pop culture and compete for prizes, according to the company. Kaizen Gaming also tied the timing of the launch to heightened global football attention, pitching the game as a second-screen-style entertainment layer for fans.

George Kourakos, Director of Innovation at Kaizen Gaming, stated: “Betano Trivia demonstrates how AI can be used to create entirely new forms of entertainment and customer engagement. At Kaizen Gaming we never use technology for its own sake. We have a clear goal to elevate the world-class gaming experience we offer to our customers. What makes this achievement particularly special is that it was developed entirely by our internal teams, combining creativity, engineering excellence and a shared passion for innovation across the board.”

Kaizen Gaming framed the release as part of its broader generative AI push, arguing that internal teams can use the technology to scale new product experiences across multiple regulated markets.
