Dushyant Sapre moves on from Twitter-owned MoPub
Mumbai: Dushyant Sapre, the MD for Japan and Asia Pacific of MoPub has quit the Twitter-owned company after a two-year stint. He was based in Twitter’s Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore.
MoPub provides monetisation solutions for mobile app publishers and developers around the globe. Sapre, who joined the platform in September 2019, was responsible for running the Japan, Asia Pacific organisation with a strong focus on the mobile gaming vertical in China, Japan, and Korea.
Sapre, in a LinkedIn post, said: “A month ago, I made the difficult decision to leave Twitter and MoPub, with today being my last day. It’s been an amazing 2-year journey, with an incredible group of #Tweeps. A couple of quarters into the job, the pandemic inflicted uncertainty wreaked havoc on our lives. I felt extremely fortunate to have been at Twitter: the sense of empowerment and support I got to lead my family, team, and self through the tough times was simply unparalleled and is something I will share with everyone and carry within for life. Thank you, Twitter!”
Sapre gave an inkling of joining a new venture, without divulging details. “Starting next week, I am embarking on a new challenge: building a new business ground-up from 0 to 1, uprooting and moving to new geography in a few months, unlearning, learning, and proving myself all over again,” he wrote.
Sapre was previously the managing director for APAC supply and global app partnerships at Criteo, and was a founding leader of the Criteo Singapore office since 2013. Over the past decade, he has advised app developers and digital publishers on maximising monetisation and online retailers on user acquisition and retention.
