PodcastOne has promoted Jim Ballas to VP of Technology and Operations. In Ballas’ expanded role, he will oversee network digital initiatives and sales operations, including the website, app, ad insertion, virtual reality and reporting metrics. He’ll report to CEO, Jim Berk.
Ballas’ experience in audio, technology and advertising served as the foundation to build PodcastOne’s traffic and sales operation processes from the ground up, upon joining the company in 2013. The sales department has grown to encompass offices in four major cities, and operations have evolved accordingly, resulting in improved efficiencies for expanded programming and support of revenue growth. Additionally, Ballas has led the charge in software and technology development to streamline and scale business at the audio on-demand leader. Prior to joining PodcastOne, Ballas managed a sales operational team at radio syndicator, Premiere Networks.
