Audion strengthens European commercial leadership with new strategic hires in Italy and in France

Audion, the European leader in digital audio advertising and monetisation technologies, announces the appointments of Emiliano Grassi as Sales Director Italy and Margaux David as Sales Manager France. These strategic hires mark a new milestone in Audion’s ambitious growth trajectory across Europe and reinforce its commitment to building strong local expertise in key markets.

In Italy, Emiliano Grassi joins as Sales Director, bringing more than 20 years of experience in media and advertising, spanning both traditional and digital ecosystems. A graduate of the State University of Milan, Emiliano began his career at Viacom, playing a pivotal role in the launch of MTV Advertising. He went on to lead sales teams at RCS Mediagroup before joining Amazon Ads in 2015, where he held senior commercial positions and helped develop one of the first retail media propositions in the country. Emiliano’s expertise in digital strategy, data, and e-commerce will be instrumental in accelerating Audion’s expansion in Italy.

“We are proud to welcome Emiliano to Audion,” said Georgia Giannattasio, CEO Audion Italy. “His wealth of experience and commercial leadership will help us seize the growing opportunities in the Italian market.”

Margaux David brings over a decade of experience in digital media and advertising, with deep expertise in integrated media strategies and performance marketing. She began her career in audit at Deloitte before transitioning into business development roles at leading organizations such as Canal+, Hopscotch, and Lagardère, where she led multi-channel advertising campaigns across sectors including health, finance, and beauty.

She later joined Invibes Advertising, where she played a pivotal role in launching the UK market, before moving to Teads in London as Performance Sales Director, managing major agency accounts and driving substantial revenue growth. Currently based in Paris, she serves as Senior Digital Sales Manager at RTL AdAlliance, advising top media agencies and advertisers on advanced digital solutions such as Addressable TV, Social Video, and Samsung Ads.

Margaux now brings her international experience and strategic vision to Audion, where she will contribute to strengthening the company’s commercial organization in France under the leadership of Nicolas Thorin, Managing Director France.

“Margaux’s strategic mindset and deep understanding of the French advertising landscape are powerful assets as we continue to innovate and scale our audio offering,” said Nicolas Thorin. “We are thrilled to welcome her to Audion.”

These two appointments reflect Audion’s broader ambition: to build a pan-European team of experts capable of supporting advertisers, agencies, and publishers with innovative, high-impact digital audio solutions.
