Executive Action: John Murphy

• Veteran media and sales executive John Murphy has joined Crossover Media Group as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. The move marks a reunion for Murphy with members of the Crossover Media Group team, with whom he’s worked as both a partner and a client.

In this new role Murphy will work to secure new content as well as to expand the company’s client portfolio. “We’ve known and worked with John for many years; his excellent relationships throughout the content and advertising communities make him a tremendous addition to our team in building strategic partnerships with clients, agencies, and content providers as we continue to grow,” said Sue Freund, Managing Member, Crossover Media Group. “He has a proven track record of building high-performing sales organizations, monetizing premium content, and delivering performance-driven advertising solutions for brands, agencies and media partners.”

Murphy was most recently SVP of Content Monetization at Veritone, the enterprise AI solutions provider.

There’s a clear opportunity to unlock new growth across partnerships, and I’m eager to help scale the business while driving meaningful value for clients.”
