Since the launch of GlobalBlock in March, the Brand Safety Alliance (BSA) team has continued our efforts to advance brand protection through effective domain name blocking. To build on this momentum and drive further success, we are excited to announce that Leona Chen-Birkner is joining us as Senior Manager of Business Development.
